Satan as a superhero? Why not."

"Superhero" is not exactly the word I'd use... a tragic hero, maybe, but even that is tenuous.

Jarek "the Mistborn" Dąbrowski (jarekthemistborn) | 49 comments Iam currently Reading heart-shaped Box by joe Hill. The son of Steven King. Iam half way Through and I must say that i really like It. I Try not to compare It to Kings work. I think it stands very well on its own

Hey Rhian, I wanted to come back again and thank you for the recommendation on NIGHT FILM. What a book... still not done with it but enjoying every minute.

Hey Jarek... I think it does stand on its own, but it also (IMHO) compares very favorably with Mr. King's work. Hill's other novels actually have more humor and that is really great... maybe taking Mr. King up a notch. Hill's humor is really refreshing, I think.

message 3863: by Aditya (new)

Aditya Finished The Lady in the Lake by Raymond Chandler, another great addition to the Philip Marlowe series.

It boasts of the most convoluted plot in the series hence it's a joy to read how Marlowe unravels it. All the myriad mysteries align to fit the puzzle perfectly but it needed a generous helping of coincidences along its way for all of it come together. So won't give it a perfect score. Rating - 4/5.

Dylan | 28 comments I am currently on "The Road Virus Heads North" in Everything's Eventual and I am starting The Terror by Dan Simmons today.


message 3865: by Aditya (new)

Aditya Finished The Namesakeby Jhumpa Lahiri. A flawed piece of insipid self-indulgence, the writing is good but unfortunately it lacks any semblance of a plot. Rating - 2/5.

Aditya Finished The Drop The Drop (Harry Bosch, #17) by Michael Connelly by Michael Connelly.

Much better than his last few books which were starting to feel phoned in, Connelly is in his element combining police politics and a solid mystery to form an engrossing fast paced read. The Drop though a step in the right direction is still a few steps away from his best output. It's main problem is that it combines two separate stories which don't at all mesh together. The more interesting of the two dealing with the alleged suicide of a power broker is wrapped three-fourths of the way in saddling us with the much inferior serial killer story for an anti-climatic ending. Rating - 3/5.

I am still early into it but so far it's good. It seems like it is a typical police/detective procedural book.

I'm currently reading Frankenstein by Mary Shelley - can't believe it took me so long to actually read this book :) - and Boy's Life by Robert McCammon - an amazing coming-of-age story. And listening to The Terror by Dan Simmons.

Glad to hear you're enjoying Boy's Life - I've had that sitting on my shelf for ages but I still haven't got around to reading it yet.
