Any good? keeps coming up in my Amazon recommendations but I wasn't that taken by it when I read the blurb, but I do like China Meiville.

Any good? keeps coming up in my Amazon recommendations but I wasn't that taken by it when I read the blurb, but I do like China Meiville.

It's an interesting one - I love China (Perdido Street Station is one my all time favs) but I'm still not hooked by this yet and I'm nearly a quarter through.

Saying that, it delivers the same depth of character and world (even Universe) that I expect from him and the language is nothing short of spectacular; My dictionary is taking a good thumbing

It's getting better but I'll let you know how good it really is when I've finished it.

On a side note - just read his first novel a couple of weeks ago - King Rat - and really enjoyed it. Nowhere near his current standard though.

'Lo Call

 

[Bahumat]

I need something to read. Are the Joe Abercrombie books any good?

 

[Helme]

Yes they are, and they get better and better with each book in my opinion. Definitely the most interesting fantasy author from this 'generation'.

 

[Bahumat]

Awesome, have bought the three Law books.

[Sydrik]

Just finished A Song of Ice and Fire: A Clash of Kings.

Book 3 now, which will be the 50th new book I've read this year meeting my target set in January!!

 

[Helme]

I've finally begun reading American Gods, I've had it for ages but always had some other series I wanted to finish first. So far, I feel a bit dumb waiting this long because it's actually good, I love the basic concept and if he pulls it off... yeah.

 

[Ch3tan]

I read that so long ago, think it needs a re-read. Struggling with Cryptonomicon.

[Deebs]

I am reading some self published sci-fi books on the Kindle atm, not bad considering each book costs £1.99.
