The Biscuit Reviews

If you had to compare your favourite book to a biscuit, what would it be? The Biscuit Reviews takes on books, TV shows, and podcasts and alongside an in depth review seeks to give you a real flavour of what they"re like by scoring them with a biscuit rating. A solid drama might be worthy of a shortbread rating (filling, sturdy, serious) whilst a good blockbuster type show might warrant a choc chip cookie (gives you a rush and feels like a treat.) Why not get yourself a brew and a biccie and

2024/01/05

Let's step into 2024 with two reviews that kind of sum up my 2023: nature and how we think.I've been meaning to read the novel By Ash, Oak and Thorn by Melissa Harrison for ages and although the novel starts in spring, starting it in the depths of winter proved ideal! We follow three of the ancient Hidden Folk - guardians of nature - as they set off and quest to solve a mystery that threatens their existence. It's a beautiful tale of wonder that will delight readers of all ages. The seven deadly

The Biscuit Reviews ·

2023/10/20

A sci-fi double bill that takes us to the far reaches of the universe and to the distant future and back again. Adrian Tchaikosvky concludes his astonishing Children of… trilogy with Children of Memory. Building on the combination of evolution, biology and tech in the previous instalments, this final chapter goes darker and deeper into what we even mean by “real”. It is also quite frighteningly current with some of the themes and like classic sci-fi, often acts as a warning. Dr Rachel Handley is

2023/08/25

In The Peripheral (based on William Gibson's book)is an ambitious sci-fi espionage thriller set across different times and different realities. It puts an twist on time travel and mixes genres but is it all a bit too much? Silo on Apple TV is set further into the future and after a catastrophe destroys the planet's atmosphere, a society survives in an underground silo, eking out a bare existence following strict societal rules. But more is hidden beneath the surface than just their homes. Apple

Between Us and People Who Knew Me (Episode 7)

2023/08/04

Secrets. Deception. Affairs. Both the book and the podcast reviewed on this episode dive deep into the drama of the tangled webs we weave. Author Mhairi McFarlane's latest novel Between Us hits the ground running with high drama and high stakes. School teacher Roisin suffers a betrayal at the hands of her long term partner and is forced to wonder what else he might be capable of. The BBC Podcast series People Who Knew Me might draw you in with its A-List cast of Rosamund Pike and Hugh Laurie but it

In the 13 part podcast series Witch, host and journalist India Rakusen and her team create a spellbinding series with each half an hour episode artfully exploring different aspects of what “Witch” can mean and how it has changed over the centuries.

Open Water and The Night She Disappeared (Episode 5)

The Biscuit Reviews ·

2023/07/31

Caleb Azumah Nelsons debut novel Open Water is an astonishing achievement. Combining poetic prose and rhythms to match the heart wrenching tale of love and identity against the backdrop of a frenetic London and racial tensions. Lisa Jewell has cemented her reputation as an elite thriller writer and The Night She Disappeared is an other hit of the genre - which might seem a long way from her debut novel in 1999 but there are similarities that make both compulsive reading. The episode starts with Open

Elizabeth is Missing and Cardinal (Episode 4)

2023/07/31

A double header this week. First up, I marvel at how in "Elizabeth is Missing", Emma Healey has crafted a tale about an old lady with dementia into a thrilling and moving mystery. Next up, I consider the themes that connect that novel to the Scandi-noir-esque Canadian detective series "Cardinal". The episode starts with the review of "Elizabeth is Missing", but you can skip to 7minutes 20seconds if you just want the "Cardinal" review.

The Power by Naomi Alderman (Episode 3)

The Biscuit Reviews ·

2023/07/31

The Power by Naomi Alderman is a provocative near future science fiction novel that poses a “what if?” scenario and dares you to confront the world around you and your place in it. It is quite literally shocking, as well as a world-hopping thriller with graphic action and uncomfortable moral choices. Could it also be the smash hit TV show of 2023?
