I just posted a follow-up there, a review of The Sparrow&#8216;s sequel, called Children of God. However, if you have not read The Sparrow, please don&#8217;t read my Children of God review: it assumes that you know what [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over at The Book Book, I&#8217;ve posted my recent review. This time around, the subject is Mary Doria Russell&#8217;s novel The Sparrow, first published in 1996. Russell seems one of those novelists in the enviable position of writing whatever she wants, irrespective of genre. The Sparrow (and its 1998 sequel, Children of God) are frank [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My full review of this book is up, over at The Book Book. Part conventional murder mystery, part dark urban fantasy, The City &#38; The City is constructed on a bizarre high concept which the author makes somehow believable: two Eastern European cities are not just neighbors, adjacent to each other; they&#8217;re even closer than [...]]]></description>

Science-fiction (etc.) author Cory Doctorow tackles both questions in a very interesting project of his, called With a Little Help. It&#8217;s a self-published &#8220;book&#8221; &#8212; an anthology [...]]]></description>

(Subtitle: Well-Armed Fanatics, Intractable Conflicts, and Various Things Blowing Up: A Woefully Incomplete Guide.) In brief, it&#8217;s a good overview of world &#8220;trouble spots&#8221; &#8212; where they are, how they became troublesome in the first place, [...]]]></description>
