Sara's reading log

I am a book hoarder and reader. My main genre is SF, but I also love magic realism, fantasy and general fiction. Favorite authors are Iain M. Banks, Ursula K. LeGuin, Haruki Murakami, José Saramago, Isaac Asimov, Ben Aaronovitch and more. My rating system is based on five stars. I rate books based on my expectations and what a books aims to be. This means that the brilliant 'Fahrenheit 451' gets five stars because I thought it would be good, people said it was good, and it was good, but 'A Closed and Common Orbit' also gets five stars because in its series, in its style, I really enjoyed it and was not disappointed.

Code of the Krillitanes by Justin Richards

  • Genre(s): Science Fiction

In my last order at Amazon.co.uk I included some cheap Doctor Who (2005 reboot) Quick Reads novels. And they are really quick reads, I think it barely took me an hour to finish one of them, Code of Krillitanes by Justin Richards. My review will be equally short.
For those who remember the ‘School Reunion’ (S02E03) where the Krillitanes used school children to solve the mystery of everything, this book is very familiar. Replace the school with the world, and the mystery of everything with the mystery of ideal Krillitane life, and you have this short adventure.
It is a pretty fun read, but I like the bigger books better, they feel more original and more like a real novel. Three out of five stars.
