Reviews

Better than I remember


(5 stars)

I had a bunch of these books when I was a kid, and carried fond memories of them for decades, but revisiting them now, I'm appreciating them even more than when I was young. The writing is of better quality than I remember, and the adventures are a blast. This one gives Johnny Quest meets Indiana Jones impressions, and stuffed with real world info that would be right at home in an issue of National Geographic or Popular Mechanics.

Sickened


(1 star)

This story is about people who steal other peoples sacred objects and use fire arms against them when they desperately try to get them to just fuck off and leave alone! Our families are still trying to get our sacred objects and bones of our ancestors out of British museums Rule number 1 Ask for permission, if not granted do not shoot them and order air strikes from government agencies
