Daniel Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Finished Kafka on the Shore. Interesting book, for sure. And a lot better than what I had read of Murakami before. Started Beasts of No Nation yesterday. Short, but looks like it will be very, very, very dark, and it’s written in pidgin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only small complaint would be that it would’ve been nice to have some of the story be when they were kids that they keep mentioned throughout the story, but doesn’t take away from the book at all. Focuses on 3 characters each with their own unique personalities. Story does adding mixtures of comedy, action, drama and mystery. Story takes a turn you don’t expect but bei a adult version of scooby soo basically it makes sense. I’ve been really enjoying it and would say to give it a read. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if the author could come out with a prequel to the book where he or she talks about their childhood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read a couple of fantasy books by a friend of mine from college last year. Beasts of No Nation was dark as ****. Pretty good, but difficult to read both because of the subject matter and the narration. I’m halfway through Underworld now. I wasn’t expecting to like it as much as I do. The prologue is a slog, and 60 pages long, difficult, and boring (narrating a Giants-Dodgers game in the 50s) but after that, it gets way better. Just wish he’d trimmed that first section, and maybe a few others. Could be a much shorter book than it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is also fast paced and easy to read. I think I’m actually surprised by how easy it is compared to other books. I did remember him telling me that his editor wanted him to make it as accessible as possible before he goes nuts with the world building in hopefully later books. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0578296519/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1655007493&sr=8-1&fbclid=IwAR2rJGSrgXcYi3k-b39UswG1c3JG_Xkw5MgrMMF2mqVT2t5m_RSadKB4NfY Edited June 15, 2022 by Xenos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty21 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Starting a game of thrones. GRRM honestly doesn’t have very good flow so far. All the sentences feel like riddles and are overly descriptive and congested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Prince Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I have one last Percy Jackson book to read (love the series) then I think I’ll finally get around to salems lot, I’ve been putting it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenK Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Just finished reading - A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay. It’s free on Prime, so I said why not. Wow! It was enjoyable and thrilling. Interested to see if they would turn this into a movie because I think they easily could. Pretty good twist, especially the ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
