One mans thrill at discovering a new comet quickly fades when he slowly realises that it will pass close to the Earth. As people both around and orbiting the world prepare for the comets pass, few believe that it will strike the Earth. It strikes and the nightmare for those who survive begins.

A very cool, well thought out and convincing end of the world story. Several different groups of people have their stories intertwined as survivors try to find a way to live in a world devastated by the comet strike. Each character is interesting to care about and distinct enough to avoid confusion. The plot meanders rather than twists and doesn’t spring many surprises for the reader but keep the pages turning as the story is crafted.

Lucifer’s Hammer is not for everyone, it does tend to start off slowly but for those who stick it out, is a rewarding book to enjoy.

Harry, a thief, finds himself in the movie business being schooled to play a private investigator by Gay Perry, while trying to get the girl, Harmony Faith Lane. Thats when the dead bodies begin to pile up.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is dark, violent and funny as hell. It has perhaps the best narration I have ever heard in a movie. Robert Downey Jr as Harry is great, even if sometimes he comes over as John Cusack. Val Kilmer as Gay Perry is hilarious, never has a gay man been played so well, convincingly and funnily. There are one liners left and right and all of them are zingers.

I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time during a movie that is straight out funny and witty. The gag reel at the end was the cherry on a very enjoyable cake!
