My fault.
Justin wrote: "Awesome. Glad to see both of you joining this. Afterwords we should do Stickmen"If this goes well, I'm down for stickmen.
Sure, why not. Are we starting today?
I'm in. Just joined the group and just bought the book.
I'm new and in, what's the crack, do we read over a couple of weeks?

LOL I can run with that :D
Finished the book. You guys are gonna love it.
To quick was the pace :)
Just kidding! That was just me trying to keep up with Eleven's lying and cheating. I haven't started yet.
Damn I'm 20% in now and its grabbed me by the you know what's, better slow down :)
Mod
You guys are too fast. I mean here I am just barely done purchasing the book. I need to join a paced reading group... Oh wait, I'm already here aren't I?....j/k seriously though:)
I plan on jumping into this one tonight! Can't wait!
Mod
Maxine, I read a book (YA) proposing exactly that: aliens who appear to humans as "Bigfoot". I'll cudgel up the title and post it. I did, after all, review it.:)
Bought it yesterday, started last night, WANTED TO READ IT ALL!! Read about 79 pages till my eyelids folded closed..[sigh] totally love it!!
Mod
Well I hope you are right Justin, but he is operator b. Guess we'll see.
This is gonna kill my reputation for dishonesty but I'm only at 5%. I will prioritize this today so I can read your spoilers. If the aliens turn out to actually be meth-smoking Bigoots (Bigfeet?) then I will be very pleased.
I read 6 Lee books in 2012 and none since then. It's good to be back.
I don't know how much of the technical military and flight specifics are accurate but Lee sounds like he knows what he's talking about, very convincingly, and that's good enough for me. Such an underrated writer.
I agree: he's a fantastic author.
This will be my first ever Ed Lee read and I'm on my way to the sofa to start now. Yey.What if the meth is the alien?

What if Bigfoot created the aliens? Huh? Think about it.

Justin, your idea sounds like the Troma version of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

I have read and rated 28 of his books on goodreads after this I plan on reading stickmen and then Grimoire Diabolique. My first novel of his was bullet through your face which I rated oct 14 2011. In a little over two years time he is my most read author second only to Stephen king and Dean koontz (by about ten books or so each), who I have been reading since elementary school. Long before I learned that there are many other horror authors out there to discover.

An awesome book, the only reason it didn't get five stars is I was a bit disappointed in the ending. Not that the ending was bad, I just expected more. (view spoiler) it had great characters though with well written emotions and all the flight talk shows that Edward Lee either did his homework or is very good at faking it. I don't think the oev (I think that's what they called it) could be any more badass than it was and even though I'm not an adrenalin junkie flyboy I could definitely feel his excitment at the opportunity presented to him to fly it.
Mod
I went with five stars. I thought it was among his most creative stories I've read so far. When do we read stickmen? Maybe more of a 4.5 considering the absence of a meth addicted Bigfoot.
I finished last night, not reviewed yet. Totally pleased with it! Went directly to Off Season so I can catch up with the Offspring Buddy Read.I think This is maybe the third of Edward Lee's I'vevread; hope to buy more in March.

I'm ready for Stickmen when y'all are...picked it up the other day when I got Operator B.
Next week works for me. I still have to find a Prime book to borrow yet this month. I should do that today.
Is stick men more of a novel length?
240 pp., according to Goodreads database
11, do you still get one book per month as a Prime? I used to. But since I subscribed to Kindle Unlimited I haven't seen that option.

My Kindle is so overloaded though I sometimes almost forget to take advantage of that benefit. A lot of what's available on Prime I've already downloaded in the past either for a free promotion or 99 cent sale. I have too many books.
...and the Prime book doesn't come with an audio option. I think many KU books do. That's a nice bonus.
I've seen that audio option on a lot of KU, agreed.
