["Night Watch" by Sergey Lukjyanenko]

No, it's a Russian fantasy series/movie.

 

I've read Night Watch, Day Watch and Twilight Watch two years ago. I read them in a Dutch translation, but the last book of the series, Last Watch, was never translated. I bought the English version, but still haven't got to reading it. I remember that the story was very complex, and I'd really have to read them again to fully understand the last one. It's an intense series and you really have to concentrate. I really enjoyed it, though - it was a tremendous read, and as soon as I can find the time, I plan to re-read them and then read the last one.

 

I've seen the movie Night Watch on TV - the adaptation of the book. I really didn't like it and I think I didn't even finish it.

 

It was indeed kind of annoying as I bought and these as well in Dutch so I was dissapointed in the publishers decision to NOT release the last book in the series. This shows perhaps my reluctance buying books in Dutch, unless the writer is Dutch.

[Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch]

^ Broken Homes is out (in hardback) at the end of June.

Good news as the first three were really impressive and original imho.

[A good horror book/author]

I just received The wrath of angels by John Connolly it is a novel I am really looking forward. For me Connolly & King did shape a certain vision of Maine which John Irving, another favorite of mine, does apply himself as well to.

[Stephen King]

I thought the book of The Shining was far, far better than the film (which was good too!); to me, it's one of Stephen King's best books.

Both have their strengths because they were made by unique visionaries, Stephen King was not completely enchanted with Kubricks movie and Kubrick did his thing with a King novel. Both had their own artistic visions that are perhaps unsurpassed............

 

I do look forward to any King book.
