Genre wars

Mostly when I think about genre classification, I think the distinctions are not really worthy of discussion. Too many blurred lines. Poor Mr Banks, for example, forced to gain or shed an M., depending on the book. Same author, same mind.

D.J. Daniels gave to: Stonemouth by Iain Banks	My rating:
A very blokey book, full of Banks signatures. Took me a while to get into the story, but once I did, I enjoyed it. Some fine writing, especially in scenes of implied threat. Loved the Scots dialogue. 3.5 stars (wish you could do this!)

D.J. Daniels gave to: Power and Majesty (Creature Court trilogy #1) by Tansy Rayner Roberts (Goodreads Author)	My rating:
Subversive mix of fantasy elements. The book went from strength to strength. A ruthless editor might have scrapped the first couple of chapters. But a very enjoyable read.
