Review: Unlocked: An Oral History of Haden's Syndrome

Unlocked: An Oral History of Haden's Syndrome Unlocked: An Oral History of Haden's Syndrome by John Scalzi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I consider myself a Scalzi fan. He is sitting on the very top tier of my favorite writers. So, I have already read both Lock In books and picked this up as a light read.

It's absolutely fantastic how much work is put in world building and this short-story shows a glimpse of it. It's still rather dense and condensed, therefore quite short.

So, when you read the two full-length novels, you see a tiny piece of this imaginary universe, but this one makes you realize, that the whole world is really well thought-out.

I really recommend this to anyone, who already read the two other books, or, if you are new to this series, it may be a good idea to start here.

Review: The Silence of the Lambs

The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris My rating: 5 of 5 stars I've read this book like 3 times when I was a teenager, but apart from the main plot I only remembered that I loved it very much. I think I didn't even know at that time that this was the part of a series. Now though I intend to read the whole series in the "correct" order so after finishing Red Dragon, I re-read Silence of the Lambs as well. Even though some memories came back during reading it was still a very exciting and enjoyable experience. Thriller and horror and not my main go-to genre, but I think Hannibal Lecter is one of the best villains of all time. I totally recommend it to anyone, even if not having read Red Dragon. So far, this is the best part of the series for me. View all my reviews
