The first half was incredible, but it's let down by a messy, drawn out 2nd half.

MagicMarker · 25-02-2013 11:12PM

Brilliant, a nice light read and a proper page turner.

What did you think of American Gods? I just finished it today.

I figured your question was rhetorical, but yes, I suppose I have.

It was okay, I finished it, which is a good sign I guess.

I wouldn't be in any mad rush to recommend it to others though.

Good book, awful ending.

You're reading quicker than a book a week....damn that's fast!

Are you reading from a list or whatever you feel like?

I'm not reading nearly as much since around Feb, when I moved to within walking distance to work. So I no longer have an hour on the bus in the mornings and evenings to read.

I'm not working off a list though, I just pick and choose as I go along.

The second in the Charlie Parker series. Pretty good, they're perfect for when you really don't want to think too much about what you're reading.

I thought it was really good. In case you don't know, it's the book the movie 'Bladerunner' is based on.

MagicMarker · 10-05-2013 10:02PM

Stunning!!

I loved this book, the historic characters in it - brought to life.

Very good, but kinda trails off in the 2nd half of the book. That and the odd plot hole mixed in with a few loose end makes me think it could have been a lot better.

MagicMarker · 09-06-2013 05:38PM

Dark, gritty, beautiful, boring as fúck.

MagicMarker · 09-06-2013 05:41PM

These crime novels are like made for TV movies, cheap and derivative with some hammy acting. But they're oddly enjoyable and this is probably the best one I've read so far.

MagicMarker · 29-06-2013 01:35PM

Brilliant!

Ok, not fantastic but a decent page Turner.

MagicMarker · 03-08-2013 01:16PM

Epic.

HeadPig · 03-08-2013 01:42PM

Favourite book you read so far in this thread?

MagicMarker · 03-08-2013 01:49PM

Nope, The Count of Monte Cristo is still the best, and it's not even close.

MagicMarker · 18-08-2013 06:57PM

Okay. Could have been shorter, and could do with less characters! It's hard to keep track of them all at times.

MagicMarker · 22-08-2013 09:00PM

It's hard to beat this guy when it comes to SciFi.

MagicMarker · 20-09-2013 08:51PM

Absolutely brilliant. King at his best.

MagicMarker · 22-09-2013 11:34PM

Fantastic, almost couldn't put it down.
