angerball Posted January 13, 2008 Author Posted January 13, 2008 Finished Special Topics in Calamity Physics by Marisha Pessl, and loved it. Review can be found here, as well as on my LibraryThing (see sig). Quote
mister.g Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 The last 'chunker' i read was an omnibus of the first 2 harry bosch books by Michael Connelly - the book didn't seem to thick at first - then i opened it and registered the 'gideons bible' thickness paper it was printed on. Still they were fantastic - enough to have me add him to my 'must have' list. In response to the OP - i picked up The Swarm when it came out - i thoroughly enjoyed it. I was intimidated by its size at first but it's a brilliant book. I'd definitely like a publisher to pick his other books up for translation. I thought i'd be overawed by some of the scientific parts (apparently after reading reviews some of the science isn't 100% factually accurate) but i feel they fleshed the story out nicely. Uma Thurman's bought the movie rights to the book with a release pencilled in for 2011 - i dread to think what mess they'll make of it Quote
Ben Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 I suppose technically I'm reading a chunker, as Inkheart comes in at a total of 543 pages. Quote
