My rating: 5 of 5 stars

No surprise, but plenty of sad detail of a dysfunctional family.

Mary Trump paints a detailed picture of DJT and his family - all the influences that shaped our warped president.

Balance of Power (Star Trek: The Next Generation) Balance of Power by Dafydd ab Hugh

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Well.... funny!

I remembered bits and pieces of this book from back in the day when I first read it - it's definitely a Hitchhiker's Guide kind of vibe, with multiple in-joke SF references. The best thing in the beginning is all the commiseration offered Geordi over the death of his beloved (not!) professor.

Sometimes the jokes go on too long, but there is a lot to like in this jolly Trek romp. I'm glad to find where the line about "a broken chronometer is right twice a day" discussion was, one I've remembered for years.
