Currently reading Kings of the Wyld. I have already giggled and become addicted to this world.... all within 100 pages. (Yes, I ordered the 2nd book)
Yesterday I finisehd The Tar-Aiym Krang, first novel in the series. A funny adventure, such that today I started the second novel, Bloodhype.
So far this year, I've read Insomnia, The Cabin at the End of the World, and Fare Thee Well: The Final Chapter of the Grateful Dead's Long, Strange Trip.Now I'm reading Elevation.

Here's my review:

Nice review, Nick. I guess I need to read it now. :)

@Atlanta, I just found City of Mirrors HB in a used book store to complete my set. I have yet to read the third book but, it’s been so long I’m feeling like I’ll go back to the start and re-read The Passage and The Twelve by Cronin first.

This is one of my favorite series.
@ Nancy Typically I wouldn’t need to re-read previous novels as I absorb a lot when I read. I’m quite a slow reader to some but, generally retain everything. In the case of Cronin’s series however, his story spans over lifetimes and has many many characters. I found reading The Twelve after reading The Passage years prior was a bit confusing. So reading them all in succession I hope I’ll enjoy it like I did The Passage initially.

So it deserved a reread. I definitely enjoyed them just as much if not more reading them in succession.

(view spoiler)
I had no clue The Passage had been adapted to the small screen? From what I’ve read in regards to reviews, especially from those who have read the books, it’s failing hard, much like Under the Dome did. Why deviate so much from a perfect story? It happens all too often. Sometimes we are granted gems like 11/22/63 or Lord of the Rings or even Game of Thrones. Then there is The Dark Tower left in ruin, crumbled in despair of what could have been. ‘Sigh’
I finished the Talisman, what an epic adventure. The ending made me cry happy tears. Anyone else enjoy the book? Also I just ordered The Black House, is it a continuation to the Talisman?
