Paul gave 4 stars to End of Empires (Chronicles of Isambard Smith, #5) by Toby Frost
Returning to the world of Space Captain Smith is always a pleasure. As with the previous books in this series, it's all very silly. It's also very funny and managed to have me laughing out loud far too often.

Paul is currently reading Children of Ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky

Paul gave 3 stars to The Great Hunt (The Wheel of Time, #2) by Robert Jordan
It's all suitably epic, but I have to admit the the major characters managed to consistently annoy me. They were all a bit too whiny and a bit too pointlessly mulish about the events surrounding them.

And things are not helped by the fact that far too many of the plot points rely on these characters being stupid, naive or both.

Paul gave 4 stars to Behind the Pink Curtain: The Complete History of Japanese Sex Cinema (Paperback) by Jasper Sharp
The depth and level of detail in this book really is incredible. There is so much in it that it can feel quite heavy going at times but, if you have any interest in the genre at all, then it really is a must-read.
