A normal story with an interesting King spin
This starts off this starts off as a normal and interesting tale of a wife escaping her abusive husband, but in true King style, it goes completely off the scale with its supernatural twist. In all honesty, I found some of the supernatural side a little too bonkers, but it is still an enjoyable read, albeit maybe a bit on the long side.

Leah on the Off Beat
Leah is a spin-off in the Simon vs. the Homosapian Agenda world. Pleasant surprise, Leah has been hiding the fact that she is bi from everyone. Now that we see inside her head we can understand her point of view as she goes through her senior year, and everything is changing.

See how it all began
A nice spin off series and you could watch this even if you haven't watched The Walking Dead yet, where have you been? A short series but good to see the early stages of the Zombie virus outbreak.

A good spin off from The Mummy films. This follows the stroy of the Scorpion King from the Mummy Returns, played by the Rock. Quite similar in many ways, it has the same visual feel of the Mummy films if the story is not as good. Still worth watching.

This is pretty much the book that re-ignited the whole Star Wars craze. (Re)reading it, it's not hard to see why.

Set after the events of the original trilogy, "Heir to the Empire" also introduces a host of new characters and soon-to-be-official aliens and planet names (it is here that Coruscant is first named, for example).

Reading the trilogy as a whole, though, you also have to wonder how much inside-info Zahn had on the whole Star Wars mythos: clones are (re)introduced here, the Clone Wars are given a larger role than their original throw-away reference and the role of the Jedi are expanded upon.

I know there's a lot of hostility towards spin-off books, but do yourself a favour and read this one! After all, the original material had to be good for their to BE a spin-off in the first place, and the quality of the first spin-off can often be determined by the quantity of books that followed it ...
