As a sidenote on the art, the illustrator of Ex Machina lays out most of his panels by using friends to stage them in real life, snapping a picture, and then drawing over that picture. It's not an uncommon technique, but I've always thought it was a kind of lame way to go about things. That combined with the fact that I've had my fill of 'realistic super hero' books turned me off of Ex Machina pretty quick. I agree with the Ex Machina assessment.

It's primarily about how hard it is not to have children if you can't use birth control. I liked it since it was very bookish. http://pagesturned.blogspot.com/2010/04/david-lodges-british-museum-is-falling.html I read David Lodge’s The British Museum is Falling Down.
