|
|
I for the most part love the books that i read. . . but every now and then i will read one that is awful but needless to say I wanted to share my reviews on some of the books i read. . .. Since i read a lot on my sick days stuck in bed or the hospital. . . .I thought that if anyone else is interested in books also then they may like to hear about some good ones or not so good ones out there.
Please anyone else feel free to jump in and give their reviews on any book they have currently read or read at any time for that matter
Take care and happy Reading!!
----------------------------------
so that i dont double post, here is 2 new books that i have read.
Fallen by Tim Lebbon
and then
Best Served Cold by Joe Abercrombie
both of these books can be read as stand alone fantasy novels but also each author has written more that are set in the same world as these books.
First of all, I almost didn't buy Fallen by Tim Lebbon. It sounded too cliche like just some sort of fantasy adventure book that i have read the type before, but i am so thrilled to say that it was so VERY different than my expectations! Friends and alliances are broken, parts of the book really shocked me and at the end i found myself routing for a totally different character than i started out with!! Be forewarned, Fallen by Tim Lebbon is a very adult fantasy novel with very graphic battle scenes and other situations but i believe thats what made it great. This was the first novel of Tim Lebbon's that i have read and it most certainly wont be the last! !
Best Served Cold was great. Not only did it have a good revenge type story, i really enjoyed the characterizations in the book. Even the minor characters had great depth. I have had a very hard time trying to get into other Joe Abercrombie novels, but not this one. From the first page it had me hooked!
Both of these novels surprised me and are both worth the time to read. They are not too new, you can pick them up on regular trade paperback for a little over 7 bucks a piece or do what i do and amazon them, you can get a used copy of each for mere pennies!! |

I have always loved Sherlock Holmes novels!! its kinda cool because of all the movies recently that a lot of the older versions of the novels are resurfacing again. . . .and its easier to find the out of print ones on sites like Amazon.
did you like The house of silk?? This one in particular i didnt read. . ..yet! |
