I want to love all of Thomas Perry’s books but…

Thomas Perry spins a great tale and I love his strong and intelligent characters. Mostly, he hooks you early in his yarns and never lets you go. This book is an exception to that rule. While he hooks you early, he overcomplicates the plot and in the final few hours of the book uses pretzel logic to make sense of a preposterous resolution to the plot. Too bad because his main character, L, is a great protagonist!

I enjoyed this short novel and thought the performances were excellent. For a free audiobook, it exceeded my expectations.

Where to start with Brandon Sanderson

Sanderson is such a rich and prolific writer that his works intimidate you with the question, "Where does one begin"? I love YA fiction so this is a great place to start. It is mind floss for a summer beach read yet it is a deeply satisfying beginning to such a complex and prolific writer. Like Stephen King, Sanderson is a genius in his ability to weave a story and keep you in its web for the entirety of his novels. This is a rare feat for any writer especially a science fiction and fantasy writer.

First Sharpe novel I've read

What a wonderful character for these historical novels. Richard Sharpe is ruthless, calculating, and utterly lovable as the rogue and hero of these novels. I have seen the British TV productions with Sean Bean but the novels are darker and more interesting. The narrator is equally good. Can't wait to listen to more.

Good story, great narrator but the story meanders a bit too much. A good edit or two would have made this a more complete story that keeps your attention better.

There is a reason why Tom Clancy stopped writing massive novels - they are a bore. This is a strikingly awkward and terribly executed work from a great author. Hopefully, he found a new editor after writing this bomb of a book. It is excruciatingly long, repetitive, and full of descriptive details that are unnecessary and crude and sometimes cruel. The entire section on the infection and death of the nun was crude, gross, and cruel. I found it offensive and unnecessary in its detail. I could go on but won’t, unlike Clancy’s interminable novel.

While the adaptations the short stories is a bit uneven, they remain quite imaginative and entertaining. Dust is a nice wrap up of the series.

Boring, terrible plot, uninteresting characters, confusing. Basically a really poor book. Agree with others, save a credit for something good.

Not what I expected and a true pleasure to hear Harry read his book. The press has been so negative yet Harry’s story is quite compelling.

There so many bad cliches in this story it is embarrassing. Once the story gets going it is okay but getting to that point is painful. The narrator is as bored as the characters! My nomination for a razzie!
