He sounds very unreliable...

I listened to this the other day. Great episode, though definitely not for people who haven't heard his other reviews...

I listened to it yesterday. Silly Luke aside, I kinda want to go back to Gene Wolfe now. I mean, if book 3 really has all the answers....

You never finished The Book of the New Sun 1-4, Jenny?! Come on, do it! Stopping after "The Shadow of the Torturer" is like quitting reading The Lord of the Rings after The Fellowship of the Ring.

I stopped after book 2. ;)

Haha, great review. "I remember that I said that in my previous review because I have perfect recall..."

Interesting that he liked and got so much out of the audio books for books 2 and 3, when opinons in our group seemed to be that you'd miss to much via audiobook, or that the speaker was too monotone, etc. Makes me want try them.

I too stopped after book 2 because I had too much else going on. But I'm definitely going to go back to 3 & 4 when I have a little bit of time. I may even give the audiobooks of 1 & 2 a try since I've already read them, to refresh my memory before going to book 3.
