Coral (coralm) | 26 comments I picked up Urban Shaman (Walker Papers, #1) by C.E. Murphy on a whim at an airport bookstore because I liked the cover. First page is the Main Character talking about how much she hates flying. I had to have it! So far I like it quite a bit.

LOL! I once read a book that I was loving so much that about 100 pages in, I almost went back to the beginning to start over because it was going too fast!

Bumer! I've really enjoyed the Weather Warden series; too bad this series isn't up to par.

I would still give it a try. Maybe not buy it, try to get it from the library. I don't care for her Weather Warden series, but do like her Morganville Vampires. If you do try it let us know what you think of it.

I got the sample of this on my kindle and couldn't even get through that. Looks like I didn't miss much. I did lover her Weather Warden series and have read some of her YA series, so I was pretty disappointed.

So was I. I really expected to like it. I also liked her Weather Warden series, but did give up reading her YA one.

Sunny | 3 comments Just finished book #2 of Night Huntress series. Everyone else seems to love them but I don't know if I'll invest in the next few or if I should stop here. Does it get any better?

Actually, I though the first three were the best and then it starts to decline a little. I still enjoy them but not like the first three. So depending why you didn't like the first two, no it doesn't really get any better. But I'm sure others would disagree with me.

Christine | 752 comments In trying to decide what to read next, this opening made the decision for me: "On one otherwise normal Tuesday evening I had the chance to live the American dream. I was able to throw my incompetent jackass of a boss from a fourteenth-story window."

We'll see how I feel about it 700 pages from now.

I found I really liked the world the book was set in, but was so so on the rest of it. I do look forward to reading the second book. I hope my issues were just first book sydrome.

Christine | 752 comments Still working my way through Monster Hunter International Monster Hunter International (MHI, #1) by Larry Correia

The lead character/narrator has a good sense of humor, so parts of the book read quickly. But, as I know absolutely nothing about guns and weapons, the paragraph-long descriptions (I'm not kidding) of each person's weapon of choice are really starting to drag for me. Other than those parts, it's interesting and enjoyable. Someone who is more into weaponry and battle tactics might really enjoy it.


colleen the convivial curmudgeon (blackrose13) I agree about the descriptions of the guns and stuff. I've seen some people refer to it as gun-porn - and they are not wrong.

Unfortunately, imo, once the book becomes pretty much non-stop action, towards the end, it starts dragging. Not terribly so, but enough to make me wish it would get a move on already.
