Neal Stephenson's Nanopunk book has pushed more boundaries in story telling and it should be read by anyone who loves Nanopunk books! Buy it Now!
5/5 ]]> 2019-02-27 15:47:48 UTC https://padlet.com/SCLibrary/ReadingAheadSC2019/wish/335952229 https://padlet.com/SCLibrary/ReadingAheadSC2019/wish/338929704 Beautifully written, strong memorable characters and a gripping story. Stephen King's crime fantasy novel will have you interested until you get very sad at the end (in a good way) 
This is a must buy for anyone who is a Stephen King fan!

Written by Luca Warman  (the novel reader who published The Diamond Age Review).]]> 2019-03-07 16:06:26 UTC https://padlet.com/SCLibrary/ReadingAheadSC2019/wish/338929704 https://padlet.com/SCLibrary/ReadingAheadSC2019/wish/341821511 Iconic and memorable. Jules Verne's adventure novel has an interesting setting and it has a magical story to grip on but I there was more to the story. Overall, I loved reading the novel. 
This novel deserves a 4/5 stars. 
Also, here is an afterward statement. Gemma Dixon your work has been incredible. You will be miss not just by me but from the library and beyond, I hope your future makes your dreams come true.

Clive Barker's nightmarish horror novel will leave wanting to put on the lights during the night and the images of the underworld will keep you awake. 

This novels deserves to be read by anyone who is enthusiastic of horror stories. You should buy this novel now!

William Gibson's cyberpunk novel will keep you interested from start to finish until you realise the truth of reality (in a good way). 
This novel is a must buy and I high recommend reading the novel if you are interested in science fiction and cyberpunk stories.

It is also the best starting novel for the military science fiction genre.
