11/30/06 REVIEW: Rome Season One on DVD
Review by S.K. Slevinski
https://www.arwz.com/zinereviewSKS34.php
Rome is character-driven storytelling at its zenith, as it takes a well-trod story and makes it intricately engaging.
11/28/06 REVIEW: Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb
Review by Violet Kane
https://www.arwz.com/zinereviewVIO43.php
Anyone looking for a good old-fashioned fantasy adventure will enjoy this protagonist-centered coming-of-age tale.
11/23/06 REVIEW: The Foundation Trilogy by Isaac Asimov
Review by S.K. Slevinski
https://www.arwz.com/zinereviewSKS33.php
Scott Brick's voice brings some life to this otherwise concept-heavy classic.

A clock without hands keeps time without seconds� / Moments crawl by like bubbles in a vat of molasses
11/16/06 REVIEW: Equilibrium directed by Kurt Wimmer
Review by Violet Kane
https://www.arwz.com/zinereviewVIO42.php
On paper, science fiction dystopian film Equilibrium has everything going for it�a cast of known and respectable actors, great aesthetics, excellent effects and martial arts choreography�but a profusion of clich�s make this film generally predictable and uninspiring.
11/14/06 REVIEW: The Stolen Child by Keith Donohue
Review by S.K. Slevinski
https://www.arwz.com/zinereviewSKS32.php
In his debut novel, Keith Donohue makes a contribution to the growing canon of mainstream novels with a fantastical premise.
11/9/06 REVIEW: Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson
Review by Violet Kane
https://www.arwz.com/zinereviewVIO41.php
Stephenson's writing style is probably the main attraction of this book. His storytelling is at once witty, hip and cynical.

In September of 2006, the progenitor of the most successful science fiction movie franchises was made available for the first time on video for American audiences.
11/1/06 REVIEW: The Twins by Gary Wassner
Review by Andrea Johnson
https://www.arwz.com/zinereviewANJ3.php
Being somewhat new to the genre of "epic fantasy," I wasn't sure what to expect with The Twins. I got more than I bargained for in one of hell of a roller coaster, and as there are soon to be four books in the series, it ain't over yet. _________________ Violet "Violanthe" Kane
