From the BookshelfBy Alyce Wilson **** Must Read PoetryThe
Visual Side: A Collection of Poems A bewildering pairing of love poems with clip-art photographs
of beautiful women. Sadly, the poems are simplistic and often outshadowed
by the photos.
FictionJourney
out of Darkness A rambling, implausible story about two young girls facing abuse under
their selfish mother, who practices black magic. This novel wallows
in depictions of an immoral lifestyle but takes too long to show alternatives.
We,
Robots This SF novella about the growth of artificial intelligence in robots
concentrates on the texture of the world but lacks a storyline. While
the concept offered promise, the book fails to deliver.
