Good to see some Wonder Woman stories coming out now!

Fast paced, exciting YA

Ok, I'll admit I was surprised at how much I liked this. I thought it would be a re-hash of the recent film (which I really enjoyed), but it's a whole new story - a prequel, I suppose.
Diana sneaks away from Themiscara with a girl that she has saved from a boating accident. The girls presence on the island starts a chain of natural disasters, so Diana helps her to leave with help from the Oracle, who also lets her into some very interesting information about the girl.
A very exciting, fast moving story.

Great idea but not flawless

It was a great idea from Hugh Howey to do the second book in the Wool trilogy as a prequel rather than a standard sequel. Having already read Wool, Shift gives the reader a chance to find out how the silos came in to be which proves to be a very intriguing story for the most part.
My only criticism would be that having finished Wool, I was desperate to find out how the characters in that story were faring, and Shift completely removed that by in effect restarting the story. Shift was needed, however it may have been better as the final book in the trilogy!

New 2 character gameplay

Can be played on the Nintendo Wii

A great prequel to the franchise

Another great Resident Evil game, this time set before the events of the first game. It has a very similar look and feel to the GameCube remake. The graphics again are excellent with great detail light and shadow effects. It has a new feature where an extra character will help you out and you can switch between the two at different stages. The story is good and the bosses were well designed as you would expect. A HD version of this is available on the next gen consoles. Check it out if you missed it!

I received an copy of Dracul from the Penguin, First to Read program.
****
Dracul is a nice prequel to Stoker's Dracula. It did take a little while for me to get into the book, but once I reached part 2, I was hooked. The format was the same as Dracula, written in the form of journals and letters, which was effective. It makes me want to go back and read Dracula again. The material for this novel was source from Bram Stoker's own journals, and by far, that was the most terrifying thing to realize after reading this story. The Author's Note goes into detail, and shows some of the handwritten notes of Stoker.
