Pete's rating my rating review One of the first Hard-Boiled writers I really enjoyed. Figured I'd go back to the beginning and start reading again.

Phineas Poe is as dark a character as I recall reading lately, yet I never question his motivation. Would I act any differently? Poe is a sometime-drug addict, recovering from a mental breakdown, lonely after the death of his wife, who was diagnosed with cancer one year before he married her. When he meets a sexy young women in a bar only to wake up to find he's missing a kidney, his life starts to go off the rails. Crazy, hallucinogenic, free-wheeling, flash-backy, dream-walky kind of stuff. Almost perfect if you want a really dark noir to fall into.(less)

Oh man, Swierczynski did it again. For those not familiar, please read this author's books if you are at all into crime fiction. While I've read some great books in the past year, nothing has been as fun as this one. Violent, dark, extremely well-crafted, I couldn't stop reading it and finished it in less than a week (which is quick by my standards). As the first part of a trilogy coming from Mulholland books, I couldn't be happier to know there will be two more like this published in the next year or so. Swierczynski has solidified his place in my top 5 crime fiction authors of all time. Awesome.(less)

This is probably my favorite novel of all time. I mean this without a hint of hyperbole. It's been so long since I've contemplated a statement like this that I am nervous about expressing it, but I believe it is true. Don't even read this review just go out and get this book. Don't wait for it at the library, go buy it. You'll want to read it again. If you do want to read my review, check it at:http://mygeekcollection.wordpress.com... (less)

Once again, Megan Abbott overcomes my unfortunate aversion to female authors. I started reading Ms. Abbott's work with "Bury Me Deep." This is now the second of her novels I've read, and it certainly won't be the last. This is hard-boiled crime fiction done right. Rough, dirty, and fast. (less)

Just finished my 2nd reading. Man, I love this book. What a way to kick off an epic fantasy series. I know people love it or hate it, but if you can stick with it in the beginning, it is well worth it. Erikson doesn't give you anything to start you off. No brief history, no expository dialogue. You are thrown into the middle of things and forced to work things out on your own. You need to be an active reader with this series. I picked up so much that I missed the first time through the book. Much quicker read this time also, since I am familiar with the world. Now onto Book 2 (Deadhouse Gates) for the second read with the goal of reading all 9 (or 10 if the last volume comes out) before the end of the year.(less)

First read when it was first published in US a few years back. With all the talk about Hunger Games, figured I would reread before trying out Hunger Games. After first 50 pages or so, I remember why I love it. (less)
