Safari travel books really help you squeeze the most benefit out of your trip because if you know something about the animals and people you will encounter, you will probably enjoy it a lot more.

If your safari operator is up to scratch they will provide you with a lot of information too, but an African safari book will have more comprehensive content that you can access at your leisure.

And safari books can be an invaluable aid in helping you prepare for your trip. It’s almost as good as having a travel agent at your beck and call 24 hours a day.

Monster by A. Lee Martinez – Review

Monster by A. Lee Martinez

It’s tempting to write Monster off as a shallow book; it’s got that dry sense of situational humor that marks Tom Holt or Christopher Moore, where the characters and their foibles are played straight, and the comedy comes from the problems they must deal with.  Of course, when yeti in the supermarket and trolls in the bedroom and walrus dogs in a diner’s kitchen are involved, things are anything but dull.  And once you look closer, it’s easy to see that Monster has depths… or layers, like an onion.  It’s a fun read, quirky and strange and the perfect addition to Martinez’s already varied repertoire.  While it would be nice to see what’s next for Monster and Judy, I’ll happily take whatever Martinez decides to throw at us.  But if you want comic fantasy, this is definitely a good bet.

Orphanage (Jason Wander) by Robert Buettner

A very decent homage to Heinlein’s Starship Troopers. Plenty of action, plenty of twists and plenty of thoughts on war and what it does to those it comes into contact with. Parts of it reminded me a lot of Stanley Kubrick’s brilliant Full Metal Jacket and other parts were Heinlein-esque.

Jason Wander is an interestingly flawed character who is put through the hell of war, making friends and enemies along the way.

I look forward to the next in the series.

It has always been said that books are a man’s best friend, this is because a man can learn several lessons of life without actually getting involved in them in the real sense. Apart from that, one can have an easy access to writings of knowledge, poetry, fiction, non-fiction, thriller and biography to stay in touch with the writing world.

A US judge has banned publication of a book promoted as a sequel to JD Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye.

US District Judge Deborah Batts ruled that Swedish author Fredrik Colting’s novel too closely mirrored Mr Salinger’s 1951 classic.

Mr Salinger brought the lawsuit against Mr Colting, with his lawyers calling the book a “rip-off pure and simple”.
