NOVEMBER


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.

11/21/06 POETRY: A November, Disjointed
by David Poore
https://www.arwz.com/zinepoetryDAP3.php
2006 Poetry Contest Winner
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.

11/7/06 COLUMN: Reading List: Godzilla
Article by Doug Gogerty
https://www.arwz.com/zinearticlesLIST3.php
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.
