<h1 id="mf-title">The Bookbag</h1>
Hello from The Bookbag, a book review site, featuring books from all the many walks of literary life - [[:Category:Fiction|fiction]], [[:Category:Biography|biography]], [[:Category:Crime|crime]], [[:Category:Cookery|cookery]] and anything else that takes our fancy. At Bookbag Towers the bookbag sits at the side of the desk. It's the bag we take to the library and the bookshop. Sometimes it holds the latest releases, but at other times there'll be old favourites, books for the children, books for the home. They're sometimes our own books or books from the local library. They're often books sent to us by publishers and we promise to tell you exactly what we think about them. You might not want to read through a full review, so we'll give you a quick review which summarises what we felt about the book and tells you whether or not we think you should buy or borrow it. There are also lots of [[:Category:Interviews|author interviews]], and all sorts of [[:Category:Lists|top tens]] - all of which you can find on our [[features]] page. If you're stuck for something to read, check out the [[Book Recommendations|recommendations]] page.

|title=The Best of Wonder Wart-Hog
|author=Gilbert Shelton
|rating=4.5
|genre=Graphic Novels
|summary=For those people who think a man fixated with bats and fighting crime is too extreme… For those who find the alter-ego of a super-powered alien far too ridiculous when it's the thin disguise of a mild-mannered reporter… For those for whom the do-goodie morals of all the super-heroes and crime-fighters in comics are just too unrealistic – welcome, one and all, to Wonder Wart-Hog. Sent to Earth from a dying planet, and living as a very put-upon journalist, Philbert Desanex is merely the public character that the smelly, ugly creature has to live as. But deep inside that humble frame and visage is a huge, beer-guzzling, road-hogging, violent character just bursting to get out (quite literally, if he can afford to replace Philbert's suits at the time) and thump people. And thump people he has done for decades now, as this huge testimony suggests.

|summary=Lucid is more than a full-immersion role play game; it's THE full-immersion role play game. Its inventor Seth Pascal has ensured that all that needs to be done is to plug in and the player's brain will take them to the virtual world while during sleep, providing perfect lucidity and an alternative life within an avatar. However it's also becoming the game to die for. Yes, literally die for as players are being murdered while they're connected. Detective Evan Waugh is the investigator given the case to prove that he still has what it takes. However there's an added complication for both he and Seth as the investigation continues. Her name is Ellen, the woman for whom Lucid isn't just a way of life, it ''is'' her life.
