***** An out and out classic of it's genre; to be read multiple times or referenced over many years.

**** A thoroughly entertaining example of it's genre that will almost certainly be read or referenced more than once.

*** A good read that kept me engaged throughout. May or may not be read again.

** A book with multiple problems and a less than adequate way to spend a few evenings. Will not be read again. Would probably appeal to completists.

* Did not finish or finished only to see just how far the train ran off the track. A book where practically nothing appealed to me.

My reviews are short and to the point. My ratings take into account, first and foremost, how much I enjoyed reading the book and then any literary merit I think the book has compared to others within it's genre.]]> male Newnan, GA 06/2009 12/2009 2 794 771 true 5626013 read 4 true 5216326 currently-reading 19 true 5216325 to-read 19 false 5223252 fantasy 19 false 5223250 abandoned 9 false 5223280 science-fiction 8 false 5223286 horror 6 false 5223328 history 4 false 5223296 classic 3 false 5223748 mystery 3 false 5226155 adventure 2 false 5223465 fiction 1 false 9267893 biography 1 false 5226156 spy 1 false 5328756 on-hold Horus Rising (The Horus Heresy) by Dan Abnett]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/81985747 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176430319s/625603.jpg 2406476 Todd http://photo.goodreads.com/users/1244737736p2/2406476.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/2406476-todd Thu, 24 Dec 2009 21:28:09 -0800 The Great Book of Amber (Amber Chronicles 1-10) by Roger Zelazny]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/81523399 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165519096s/5367.jpg 2406476 Todd http://photo.goodreads.com/users/1244737736p2/2406476.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/2406476-todd Sat, 19 Dec 2009 19:02:59 -0800 Masterpieces: The Best Science Fiction of the 20th Century (Paperback) by Orson Scott Card]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/81523361 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1169433262s/40281.jpg 2406476 Todd http://photo.goodreads.com/users/1244737736p2/2406476.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/2406476-todd Sat, 19 Dec 2009 19:02:21 -0800 The Windup Girl (Hardcover) by Paolo Bacigalupi]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/81449791 http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51BgLcLQE7L._SL75_.jpg 2406476 Todd http://photo.goodreads.com/users/1244737736p2/2406476.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/2406476-todd Fri, 18 Dec 2009 19:59:25 -0800 Ulysses S.

It's no coincidence that King's past epics, The Stand and It, are often cited as his many of his fans' favorites.
