Aliens
AuthorAlan Dean Foster
ISBN0708831826
If this has been an original novel, and the movie came from it, then it would have been a five star easy. Since it's a novelization of an existing movie that's superior, it gets a three star rating for different reasons.

Hellblazer, Volume 12: How to Play with Fire
AuthorPaul Jenkins
ISBN1401258107
[throwing confetti around wildly] Goodbye Paul Jenkins! I hope you never come back!

Forty Whacks and Other Stories
