Something From the Nightside-Simon R Green

7.5/10

Gritty hardnosed detective novel full of horror and a bit of fantasy..

The Hobbit (for the tenth time)

10/10

Just getting pumped for the movie.. It's in my top 5 books of all time and is so much better than the LOTR or The Silmarillion..

Resolution-Robert B Parker

Not really into westerns but I picked this up at the library for $1.. It was Gritty, bloody, full of actions and all around badassedness.. Might read more westerns now..

8/10

Currently reading Magic Kingdom For Sale: SOLD!-Terry Brooks.. It is an amazing story of a lawyer who after his wife's death buys a Magic Kingdom only to find out it is in shambles and he is determined as the new king to restore the whole world..

Gonna def read more of this guy's books..

Oh I also read both Inkheart and the sequel Inkspell by Cornelia Funke.. Liked the sequel better but both are easy reads and any fantasy fan should enjoy them..

(even though they are kinda kids books )

The Noble Fool: The Hungering Saga. 2/10.

I might have given it a 1, but I didn't finish it. Here's a summary of the first fifth of the book:

Dude gets accosted by scary dude. Dude wakes up, nothing happens. Dude gets attacked, nothing happens. Dude wakes up in a hospital ward, nothing happens. Dude finds out he's been "chosen," exposition, nothing happens. Talk about training, nothing happens.

I tried to stick with it, hoping setup eventually gave way to something good, but no.

Other recent books:

The Academy: 6/10
The Anathema: 7/10

For the above, books of the Central series, take a shot every time there's a fair comparison to Harry Potter.

Mercury Falls: 10/10. Must read if you're a Doug Adams fan, or just like humour.
Mercury Rises: 9/10. A little bit of sequilitis, and a little less content than there could be, but almost as good as the first.

Is that the first book in the series? Simon Green's work was promoted in several books I've read.

Looks like it is. Most novels I read in series are self-contained anyways. Pisses people off if it doesn't work that way.

Any fan of fantasy should read this.. I'm gonna go get Sword of the Shannara cause it is the first book in a series that seemingly ran through his whole career..

I'm now reading a book call "Dark Place".. It is about a girl whose whole family is brutally murdered when she was like 7 in 1985.. Her and her 15 year old brother are the only surviors but she terstified that the brother (who had turned into a black hair metal Satan worshiper) did the murders.. She is now like 30, socially awkward, and never had a job.. She has lived off of the "fame" gained by the murders.. So this group of people in a "kill club", bunch of weirdos who investigate old murders and do cos play and shit, contact her.. In need of money she goes to their meeting but it is taking her back to her "Dark Place"..

Book is kinda cool cause every other chapter switching between today and 25 years ago around the time of the murders..

The $30 hard back copy was def worth the $1 I paid for it at the liberary..

The Mockingjay also 8/10

Despite my weird rating system I would rank them in order

Hunger Games
Catching Fire
The Mockingjay

The Mockingjay seemed to move slower then the previous 2.

Not a classic novel by any means, but I loved it.

Those I've finished........

Stephen King's IT- 10/10 because its professionally written but also a horror story that really gets to ya. Movie definitely does do it justice.

Frank Herbert's Dune- 10/10 because it is to science fiction what LOTR is to fantasy

William S. Burroughs Naked Lunch- 9/10 because it is a disturbing art form of word usage that's too alluring to put down. Not for everybody, as most would probably not understand it, let alone stomach its coprophilic rapist junky nature. I fell in love with it!

Hunter Thompson's Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas- 9/10 because it's a road trip with Hunter Thompson for crying out loud!

Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness- 7/10 because it's a dark journey into African ivory trade. Not as good as the movie, Apocalypse Now, because Kurtz had too small a role in the book.

Cameron Pierce's Ass Goblins of Auschwitz- 4/10 because it's weird enough, definitely, but it's written more like an obscene junior novel.

First book I have read in a long ass time.

10/10: Game of Thrones Book I. I got the first four books paperback and might start book 2 eventually. They did a damn good job on the HBO series though and I might just skip to book 3 seeing how good they followed the events of book 1 in season 1.

Kurt Vonnegut - Slaughterhouse 5 8/10

I quite enjoyed it; his style was easy to read. I will definitely read more of his work.

I'm also currently halfway through John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, which I have been slowly getting through since June. I am enjoying it, but I don't feel the drive to read it often.

Don't skip to Storm of Swords. There are a few differences between A Clash of Kings and season 2 of Game of Thrones, plus some events that occur in the book that have been pushed to season 3.

Because book 1 matched season 1 pretty much identically, but I didn't end up skipping it.

A Dance With Dragons 9/10

Did not realise this wasn't the last book in the series, just the last one written so far, a fucking cunt of an ending...absolutely gutted now, love the series so far though, just a twat at all the cliffhangers.

Dune- N/a

Dropped it for now. Just too slow paced for my mood as of late. None of the characters seem particularly interesting. I'll give it another chance at a later time.

Was still in the mood for some Sci-fi though, so:

Star Wars Darth Bane: Path of Destruction- 8/10

When it comes to Star Wars, I've always felt that the one-shots and trilogies are the best offerings. Stuff like New Jedi Order and Legacy of the Jedi drags on too long, plus the constant shifting of authors, and subsequently the writing style, can be distracting, and take you out of the story.

This book is the first part of a trilogy. I'd always been intrigued by Darth Bane. You see his name mentioned here and there. Even in the Episode I novel, which means he's official canon. But this is the first time anyone has delved this deep into who he is.

The story tells Bane's origins, and how he became a sith lord and created the rule of two. Bane is a great character, and his transformation is well done. My only problem is that it's a tad too short. There are some other characters that I would have liked too see fleshed out a bit more, given a larger page count.

Overall I enjoyed it, and reccomend it to any star wars fans. Will be starting the second book soon.
