bookshelves: 35-until-becoming-an-aficionados
Read from December 11 to 14, 2011

This book is really slow in the beginning until about 200 pages into the book. Then the speed of the book really picked up with full of action that included killing in painful ways. This book would do really well if it is made into a movie or especially if it is made into a video game. Overall, this is what an assassin should be.

Alex Ristea I think you'll enjoy this one! Weeks has a real flair for the dramatic and some great action writing.

Thanks, I'm getting the whole trilogy from my friend on Monday.

Tym Good stuff man, for some reason I often find this series in the YA section of my booksellers but believe me there is nothing YA about it.

Really, hard to believe! I've never seen it in the YA selection anywhere ever.


pauliree This is definitely one of those read it fast and hard series, I couldn't get enough of it. Truly glad all 3 books were published when I started it or there would have been much teeth gnashing

Alex Ristea Have any of you read the short novella Weeks published about Durzo Blint's beginnings? Pretty quick read, but interested nonetheless.


Stephen I'm glad you liked this, Kevin. I think the next book is even better.

Really? Glad to here that since I have the whole trilogy, so I am reading it right after another.


Doris I really would like it if they made it into a Movie. I think it would catch quite some viewers....
