Transition by Iain Banks

I have another review up over on SFFAudio.com. This time it's Transition by Iain Banks. Or Iain M. Banks depending on which cover you look at. Hence my confusing first paragraph.

My second review for SFFAudio.com has been published.  It is another David Weber book: By Heresies Distressed Book three in his Safehold series.

Have a read and leave a comment.

I did make the mistake of not reviewing this as soon as I finished listening. So I listened to it all again. Must learn my lessons somehow.

My first review for SFFAudio.com has just been posted: David Weber's On Basilisk Station.

Go read it and leave a comment.

I was at the Lyceum in Edinburgh tonight to see Peer Gynt. This is a very "Modern" interpretation of the tale. The performances were excellent and I liked the set design and lighting.

Unfortunately I wasn't convinced by the Jerry Springer cast of gross characters, which to me is a fault with the script. The actors did an amazing job with what they had. The only likeable character did what the plot needed her to do, not what you might expect her to do.

Which all meant that my emotions were never allowed to engage. If all that talent and effort had been put to work with a better script then this could have been a stunning show.
