Mass Effect Volume 1: Redemption Review

Mass Effect Volume 1: Redemption

I was severely disappointed with this series. The art and writing are both lacking. It felt like the scripter had not played the original Mass Effect as the characterization is nothing like the game. Liara is a competent, determined, yet quiet character in the game. Here she’s an 80′s action hero making quips as she [...]

Cat

Cat’s Cradle is by far the best Vonnegut novel that I have yet read. Blending his patented wry humor with acute social insight presented in an absurd fantasy world, Vonnegut has written an exceptional novel of love, lies, and the self destruction of mankind.The story centers around the narrator, Jonah, who is called by name [...]
