  1. I am loving this show. I've read all the books so far and the show is better than I ever imagined it would be. They cast almost every character perfectly.
  2. Have started reading my copy of The Lions of Al-Rassan and am already hooked. Thanks for the recommendation Karsa.
  3. I've managed to read the first 2 Wallander novels this week Faceless Killers & The dogs of Riga by Henning Mankell. Read both books in 4 days. Found them both very good and love the fact they are set in Sweden. Today I have started The Lions of Al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel kay It's the first book of his I am reading and although am only 50 pages in I am hooked. Thank to Karsa Orlong for the recommendation
  4. Thanks for the suggestion and after now reading the reviews and the 'Look Inside' content on amazon I have ordered a copy
  5. I think GGK sounds like my kind of author. Which should I read first to get me going?
  6. I finished reading A Feast for Crows by George RR Martin at the weekend. I found it the worst in the series so far. Not much really seemed to go on until the last few pages. Am now reading The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson am half way through part 1 and am finding it an amazing start to a new series. As always with the big fantasy series it takes some time to remember all the characters.
  7. I have just started A Feast for Crows by George RR Martin I'm a third way through and finding it a bit boring. Not really much happening and am missing the characters from the previous books. Before I started this I read Mistborn Bk1 - The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson a book I loved. Great story with great charcters and loved the unusual powers they had. Have ordered the rest of series.
  8. Is this part of a series? If so which is the first book as I have to read in order
  9. I have 1 good mate who I swap books with as we both treat our books the same way- With respect I've lent books out in the past and have been really annoyed at the returned state.
  10. If I'm reading a series I like to have the next one to hand. But I don't buy the whole set first. I also read something inbetween so I don't bore of a series. I'm currently reading between the mistborn, Game of thrones & Michael connely series.
  11. I have just finished A Storm of Swords - Blood & Gold and having been disappointed in the first part of the book I was totally hooked on this one. Gripped me start to finish. So many twists. Brilliant. Have now started book one of the Mistborn trilogy The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson and am 1/4 way through and am finding it good although the use of the powers took some working out.
  12. Not been online for the last couple months. But now all up and running and ready to join in again Until this week I haven't picked up a book for nearly a month. I'm now reading A Storm of Swords
  13. Not been on here all week as have been busy with work and things. So am still reading Every Dead Thing and am about 2/3 way through.
  14. Just finished watching Taken and it was brilliant
  15. Great review. I also just read the first chapter on amazon and was hooked so have ordered a copy
  16. I haven't read any of his books as yet but have just ordered a copy of The Bone collecter to get started with. I know this book is also a film but I've not seen it. So it wont be ruined lol.
  17. I finished Knots & Crosses by Ian Rankin in 24 hrs. Was a quick read for me and felt it could have been more detailed. Especially the story with the brother. Really felt that needed a better ending. Does the series get any better? Is it worth sticking with? I'm now reading Every Dead thing by John Connolly. 50 pages in and its great. Although a disturbing start.
  18. Did you read Storm Front first? If so was is it good? I keep looking at starting this series but have been unsure.
  19. Finished 'The coroner' by M.R. Hall last night and have today started the first Rebus book 'knots & crosses' by Ian Rankin.
  20. Haven't read much at all the last week as been away camping. So am only about a 1/4 way through The Coroner by M.R.Hall not sure about it soo far though.
  21. Finished A Clash of Kings yesterday and started 'The Coroner' by MR Hall last night.
  22. Still reading A Clash of Kings only 100 pages left to go so will hopefully finish tonight.
  23. Thanks Karsa am now going to look on eBay
  24. Same here. I've never read any of his books but am wanting to read something new. Which is book one? And although not read the books I'm not a Tom Cruise fan either so hope he doesn't ruin the film you all lol
