Its actually okay, and is a marked improvement on the books he wrote just before this (Liseys Story, Duma Key)

It is very long but he keeps you interested throughout. Don't expect anything as good as The Stand though; cant see him topping that one.

Murakami is excellent - i read IQ84 before that and it was brilliant too

Re: What book are you reading now?

I thought IQ84 was way too laborious. I liked Wind-Up Bird.

Re: What book are you reading now?

Finishing off A Game of Thrones this week, which will be followed up by A Clash of Kings.

Also recently finished The Fault in Our Stars by John Green and The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde. Both were quite enjoyable.

Re: What book are you reading now?

anyone read "the game" seems wank..I gave up after 13 pages....

My friend got halfway through and stopped when the author (Neil Strauss) said he finally took a girl home and had sex...prior to this, all the other encounters with females were just interactions, my friend though Strauss was banging them all.

meh

Re: What book are you reading now?

After watching the 3rd season I wanted to know how it continued. Usually when I'm into a book I can't put it down, but with this book I'm have difficulty getting into it. It's probably just me.
