| Xpress Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA  In fiction, "providing plenty of detail without slowing the story down," Gregory Benford's The Berlin Project is recommended for an audience that enjoys alternate history with a solid grounding in reality." In nonfiction, Brenna Hassett's Built on Bones: 15,000 Years of Urban Life and Death is "a well-researched companion to 'lost city' best sellers.... This survey of the field is highly recommended for academic libraries or public libraries that serve devoted popular science readers." Asaf Hanuka's The Realist: Plug and Play is one of three starred graphic novels this week. "This Eisner Award–winning series is rich to view. The line work is clean and dignified, and the coloring perfect. Each page is its own reward. YA as well as adult readers will enjoy this clever collection of everyday life observations." And in e-originals, T.J. Kline's Risking It All is "a great addition to any contemporary romance collection."
