The Walking Dead Compendium One – Comics On TV

By On May 4, 2011 · Leave a Comment · In Book Reviews

There’s been quite a few shows and movies about zombies over the years but I have to say there have been none better than The Walking Dead which recently wrapped its first season on AMC.  If you haven’t seen it I’d highly recommend you check it out.  Even though it’s on TV, it’s not [...]

RED: My Uncensored Life In Rock by Sammy Hagar (2011)

Sammy Hagar Gets Uncensored In RED

By On April 12, 2011 · 1 Comment · In Book Reviews

I’ll start this off by saying Van Halen is probably my favorite band of all time.  I’ll follow that up by saying that I’m one of the rare few that thinks Van Halen was a FAR superior band with Sammy Hagar in it than when David Lee Roth was the front man.  With that housekeeping [...]

David Baldacci Gets “True Blue”

I was rummaging through my bookcase the other night looking for something to read and came across a hardback copy of True Blue.  Not sure when exactly I picked it up, but if I had to guess I’d say it was for Christmas last year.  In any case, I’d just gotten done reading the latest [...]

By On June 3, 2010 · Leave a Comment · In Book Reviews

Regular readers of this blog know that I’m a big fan of Kevin Smith.  That said, it only made sense that one of these days I’d read one of Smith’s books and I started with My Boring-Ass Life.  I typically just get my reads from the library these days, but this particular title wasn’t available [...]

Agassi Is Finally “Open”

By On April 6, 2010 · 1 Comment · In Book Reviews

If you’re a tennis fan you’ll enjoy this book.  If you’re an Andre Agassi fan you’ll absolutely love it!  Open is one of the most transparent autobiographies that I’ve ever read.  I’m sure you’ve heard by this point but Agassi used drugs for a short period of time during his career.  This is just one [...]

“The Book Of General Ignorance” – Everything You Think You Know Is Wrong

By On February 11, 2010 · Leave a Comment · In Book Reviews

I picked this one up at the library after hearing about it on Kevin Smith’s Smodcast a while back.  I’m kind of a trivia junkie so I figured I’d really enjoy this.  Essentially (as the tile suggests) these are little nuggets of information that are pretty much universally thought of as “truth” when in reality [...]

Robert Langdon Is Back In “The Lost Symbol”

By On February 3, 2010 · 2 Comments · In Book Reviews

As the cover says, The Lost Symbol is written by Dan Brown (author of The DaVinci Code).  Many people believe this is Brown’s third book overall, but in fact it’s merely the 3rd book in the “Robert Langdon Trilogy” (it’s actually Brown’s 5th novel).

NOTE: This review will contain spoilers.

Like The DaVinci Code [...]
