Like a log...

Excellent book on the US Economic meltdown.

A good book, not amazing, I think it's used mainly to lay the foundations for future books. I will move on to Book 2 at some point.

It's bloody well good you know.

Disappointing.

Epic does not even begin to describe this series.

Fairly average really.

After reading Part 1 of this book I though I was going to be reading something special. Unfortunately, things didn't improve from there. Overall the first half was good. But the 2nd half really starts to grate, and in the end I didn't bother finishing.

Brilliant.

Part 1 on this novella would be familiar to anyone who has seen the most recent BBC adaption, and tbh I was a little annoyed that i couldn't get Cumberbatch and Freeman out of my head.

However Part 2 (most of it anyway) was an unexpected and pleasant surprise, as the story's setting shifts from London to the great plains of Salt Lake City, and there's a sudden "Great American Novel" feel to it. I absolutely adored the writing in this part.

I'm office based, but I'm not reading as much these days, a book every 2-3 weeks seems to be my average at the minute. Plus I've just started studying part time, so I'll be reading even less now.

I think I'm going to focus on Novellas for a while, quick reads I can get through in between study. Don't want anything too heavy as I might get bogged down with other stuff.

Good book, awful ending...truly awful.
