Staff Reviews
Book Review: Ultimate Spider-Man: Married With Children
As well as a great storyline, Hickman really captures the attention and imagination of the reader with dynamic and expressive art.
Book Review: Don’t Let The Forest In
Eerie, atmospheric and lyrical. An intense romance and an endless stream of horrifying creatures coming from the forest every night.
Book Review: Come As You Are
Don’t let the emphasis on women’s sexuality in the blurb throw you off, this is an informative read for all genders.
Book Review: The 13th Assistant Librarian
Oliver Wormwood is soon surprised to find this library is full of magic, unpredictable books, and lots of danger!
