The Prefect by Alastair Reynolds

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
Good solid science fiction and a not too mysterious mystery, I read the end shortly after starting so no mystery ever holds much. The characters were worth caring about. The broader ideas of democracy, electronic humanity and the ability of people to choose their way of living was interesting too. Enjoyed it immensely.

A Great Movie in disguise.

HANCOCK!

An action movie with laughs and a great big heart. There is a villian, but he's pretty secondary. There real story is in the really great characters. Will Smith does a great job with the lead role and Jason Bateman is wonderful as the ever optimistic PR guy. Charlize Theron does a great job as well. I loved the framing of the some of the camera shots and the special effects are great too. I really, really enjoyed this movie. I think a lot of people will be surprised by this one.
