September 3, 201016 yr comment_385394 The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie Book 1 of the First Law Trilogy. Great stuff. If you like Martin's Song of Ice & Fire you will probably like this. Simpler (less epically EPIC) but just as gritty. Report

October 4, 201015 yr comment_392849 Chris Moriarty's Spin State That was an interesting book, I am going to read Spin Control next (sequel) when I'm done with Peter F Hamilton The Evolutionary Void. Report
October 11, 201015 yr comment_394473 Jailbait Zombie by Mario Acevedo -- bought this on a lark, it's actually quite entertaining Sent from mah Droid Report
October 21, 201015 yr comment_397046 Kelley Armstrong, Frostbitten -- easily my favorite author of this genre. I love the way she can switch 'voice'. Report
October 21, 201015 yr comment_397056 i read Spin Control by Chris Moriarty a while back (i really hope there is another book in the series! forthcoming!), and then re-read Target Tokyo by Gordon Prange. now i'm finally reading some China Mieville. i really hate Steampunk, but i'm gonna try anyway. looking forward to your impressions. I prefer "The Scar" and his newer noirish offering "The City and the City" Report
October 22, 201015 yr comment_397097 i figured that i should start with the book that brought him to fame. oh you absolutely should. I like PSS but consider CoSaM the true penultimate steampunk "city" book. well CoSaM combined with Shriek. Report

October 24, 201015 yr comment_397856 Kelley Armstrong, Frostbitten -- easily my favorite author of this genre. I love the way she can switch 'voice'.I'm in -- she had one of her characters say, "Pffft." Twice. Report
November 15, 201015 yr comment_403049 Finished Frostbitten, read Men Of The Otherworld (which I thought was a short story collection, but was largely the backstory of one of the primary men in the series. Also read Definitely Dead and All Together Dead by Charlaine Harris -- she's my second favorite of the genre. Started Altered Carbon by Richard K. Morgan. Report
November 15, 201015 yr comment_403060 It certainly does so far, and I haven't even finished the first chapter. Report
November 20, 201015 yr comment_404421 Loved the turrets scene. Very Warner Bros. The rest of the book isn't as Warner Bros., but that was like Fifth Element meets Film Noir. I'm actually picturing Bogey playing the lead -- his face, uncolorized, digitally superimposed on Bruce Willis' head. Report
November 22, 201015 yr comment_404857 Okay, this book totally rocks. I mean, it totally rocked before, but it is my new best friend now. One of the characters just said, "Oh, come on!"...with 'on' being italicized. Report
