Curtis Jobling liked Darth Sparhawk's review of Shadow of the Hawk: " Totally awesome! Nonstop action, unexpected character development (Hector, I'm looking at you, filthy swine) and very original! Best epic fantasy in years! True story! "

Curtis Jobling gave to: Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak	My rating:
Alongside THE HOBBIT, the book that inspired my love of reading, and in particularly fantasy. It transported me into the book and the the land of the Wild Things when I was a child, and pretty much has the same effect upon me now.

Curtis Jobling gave to: Dust & Decay (Benny Imura, #2) by Jonathan Maberry (Goodreads Author)	My rating:
May I direct the court to my comments on Rot & Ruin. Great sequel with a marvellous suckerpunch halfway through which caused me to name-call the author on Twitface. Wasn't one of my proudest moments but had to be done.

Curtis Jobling gave to: Rot & Ruin (Benny Imura, #1) by Jonathan Maberry (Goodreads Author)	My rating:
Maberry is just a show-off. Simple as. It's not enough that he's aced it in adult horror/thriller, he's now doing the smackdown in YA too! Terrific (skull)cracking read which balances teen angst with lots of shambling dead action.

Curtis Jobling gave to: Twelve (The Danilov Quintet, #1) by Jasper Kent	My rating:
Not usually a fan of historical fiction, I was a little wary when picking up TWELVE. I needn't have been. A wonderful blend of period drama and dark fantasy, it gave the vampire, or vordalaak, a fresh infusion of blood. While the vampires (for the mo...more

Curtis Jobling made a comment on Christa (Hooked on Books)'s review of The Last Werewolf "Of course I'm entirely biased as I'm the author of the Wereworld novels, but as a lycanthropologist I felt it my duty to comment ;-D "
