Weird, huh?"It was released in UK as The Lonely Dead but released in USA as The Upright Man.I guess i got the UK version.

It's an a favorite of mine, as well!
I finished Divergent and it was great! Caught me so much I'm now reading Insurgent...it picks up exactly where divergent left off!

Agreed, I didn't like 'The Lost Symbol' either, hoping this one is much better.
I just finished reading The Dead Zone, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! How are you finding it so far?I'm reading NOS4A2 at the moment... Great read :)
I'm currently reading The Paperboy. I tried to watch the film before reading the book and couldn't even get halfway through it, but the novel is good so far.

That's one of those books where I didn't see what all the hype was about. It's got cracking reviews but it didn't really float my boat

To each their own, right? I could say the same about The Help
Exactly, mate. And 'The Help' doesn't sound like my kind of thing either to be fair
Jacob wrote: "Exactly, mate. And 'The Help' doesn't sound like my kind of thing either to be fair"It sounded like great, compelling reading at first, but I ended up giving it only 2 stars.. It's all hype, pretty much.

I am reading Blood of Angels by Michael Marshall the last book in Straw Men trilogy.Hope it ends the series on a strong note.

*waving excitedly at Holly* Hey, buddy!!

So what are you currently reading?
I started Sharp Objects, but it's now on hold because I went to the library yesterday.My two current reads are By the Light of Moon by Dean Koontz and Writing Fiction: The Practical Guide From New York's Acclaimed Creative Writing School.
Oh yeah, I forgot about Sharp Objects..I think I might have read the Koontz title before.. I'll have to look into it..
Nope, I have not read By The Light Of The Moon.. but it sounds really good!
I'm hooked and I'm only about 40 pages in!
Totally!!!! I just love reading Koontz's novels. They never fail to entertain me and keep me reading!

"Yeah I had a lot of free time as of late so getting through them pretty fast.Straw Men was good though the ending left some loose ends.The 2nd book however was all over the place.Lets see how the third one holds up.
What did you feel about them or did you just read the first one & not the rest?
Holly wrote: "Totally!!!! I just love reading Koontz's novels. They never fail to entertain me and keep me reading!"For the most part, that's how I feel about his work. There are just a few (particularly his newer work,) that I'm not very fond of..

I loved the entire trilogy, actually. I couldn't put them down.:)
Have you read his Frankenstein series?
Dustin wrote: "I loved the entire trilogy, actually. I couldn't put them down.:)"Great to know that.I will also finish it within a day or two so that I can get back to some King books.
I've read the first two in the series.

Hm, that's interesting, Aditya, because the 2nd book in that I read is called The Upright Man, but apparently they're one and the same because the synopsis is EXACT. Weird, huh?
