I liked the Turtle Boy and read The HIdes. Liked the story but found too much wrong with the technical side of it. My dad ran a tannery when I was a kid. Know too much about tanning to know he didn't research it well.

I don't know if it's Murakami's style or what, but I don't know what to think about this book yet and I'm almost 70% of the way through. It's taking me much more time than normal, but the book is about 1000 pages. Seems you get just a taste of the plot here and there and then he moves on to a side story which then intertwines into the main plot again. There are a lot of references to other novels and even actual exerpts and synopses of other stories that tie into this story and this whole book is supposed to tie into 1984, which I have personally never read. (On my short list now so I can see what the tie in is supposed to be) The actual story is very surreal.

That's what he basically does in all of his books.

I'm finding it very intriguing. It jumps around in time a lot and the writing style takes a little getting used to but I'm enjoying it so far.

It took me awhile to read it but that really didn't have anything to do with the story. My schedule has just been very hectic lately.

There were some places in the story that I thought he could have edited it down but I think he had those parts in for character development. I gave it 5 stars. It was probably 4.5 for me but you can't do those halfs.

Dustin Just yesterday, I finished Ted Dekker's Black, and am now four chapters into Red (the next installment in the Circle series.)

A.R. (arbraun) Kathryn, you've got to read Horns. I wouldn't put it off. It was amazing and unlike anything else I've ever read, as was Heart Shaped Box, also by Hill.

BTW, I was also confused by the pitchfork. Lol!

Penal Colony is about an island prison and its inhabitants. I thought it was pretty good. Not great, though.

The guy at the bookstore couldn't stop saying good things about Joe's books...So, you all have me convinced and once I finish reading King, I'll pick up his.

A.R. (arbraun) I've yet to read Gaiman and I can't wait, but I heard him doing a reading and the book sounded visceral.

I bought my copy of Horns for my Sony Reader. Probably paid too much.

So far it's good, sort of... lol Hard to explain, I think I'll review it when I'm all done. I guess basically, parts of it are pretty unpleasant and I'm not talking about the creepy scary bits, those I love!

I know what you mean Josiah. I used to try to devour a series that I liked and found that I grew tired of it too quickly. It's been about 6 months since I read Book 1 of this series and I'm more than ready to tackle Book 2. Some people can read one after the other, but I'm not one of them.

I loved Horns. I thought it was fantastic. I have a HC edition (and I hate HC), a signed paperback ARC thanks to a friend, and an e-version for my nook. I shall never be without! :P

Gaiman is also fantastic. I highly recommend American Gods. That's my favorite.


message 2045: by Becky (new)

Becky (beckyofthe19and9) I just finished my very first Philip K Dick book, The Man in the High Castle, and I really enjoyed it.

I'm now reading Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians & The Book of Negroes: A Novel. The first is very light and fun and cute... the second is very NOT any of those things. But it is very, very good.

That book coming out in 2014 will nnot be his last. The only way he will finish Song of Ice and Fire is like what happened to Robert Jordan, is to die.
