pontalba Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 Richard & Judy interview Jo Nesbo: Jo Nesbo interview Great stuff! And they even ask him how he feels about being labelled 'the next Stieg Larsson' Super interview! Thanks for posting. Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted October 8, 2010 Author Posted October 8, 2010 I take it you've seen the interviews about each book that are on his website? jonesbo.com Quote

pickle Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 I've just ordered 'Redbreast' from my local library on your recommendation, Karsa! I just bought it today, am looking forward to reading it too. I love haviong a new series to sink my teeth into. Quote
lexiepiper Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 My copy of The Snowman arrived yesterday, I'm rather looking forward to getting stuck in thanks to this thread Quote
runner Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 I have started reading the snowman and it is fantastic so well written. I cannot say I have enjoyed all Nesbo's books but The Devil's Star was also a fantastic read. People are now trying to compare him to Stieg Larsson....I don't think he is anything like Larsson and I actually did not enjoy The girl who played with fire when I read it. Quote
Mac Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 I always think it's a shame that publishers feel they have to reel punters in with a "THE NEW..." bla bla blahh tag. Most annoying, but I guess it helps the good authors so what the hey, hey? Does anyone else read Jo Nesbo as Jones Bo when all the letters are the same size? No? Just me then... Quote
pickle Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 Every time I go into the bookshop they only have The snowman in and I want the second one,,,grrrr I might have to get it on amazon Quote

LOL, no do not feel like the Lone Ranger. The really irritating factoid IMO is that Nesbo preceded Larsson by some years. But it's true, whatever sells will be the rule of the day. Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted October 25, 2010 Author Posted October 25, 2010 <<Gets on soap box>> New Larsson, blah blah. Wrong! Larsson's the new Jones Bo <<Gets off soap box>> I have a confession: I only realised - after Pontalba mentioned it - that it's a sticker that can be peeled off the cover Quote
lexiepiper Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 My big horrible 'Stieg Larsson' bit is a part of my cover so I can't peel it off which annoys me greatly I don't think the two authors are anything alike whatsoever to be honest, so apparantly coming from the same region of the world means you're similar authors?! Interesting! Anyway, I finished The Snowman and thought it was fantastic, can't wait to get another of his books in the future Quote

I'm glad you think that he is nothing like Larsson as I thought Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was one of the worst books I have ever read Quote
Mac Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 This is because he is nothing like Larsson. Whoever comes up with these tag lines wants strafing with a Gatling gun... Both brilliant authors, both completely different. Flippin' moronic marketing jack-a-napes! Quote

joe Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 I love this author, have recently read The Redeemer and thought it was excellent. I am waiting for my copy of The Snowman to be available from the library, cannot wait. Harry Hole is a legend. Quote
pickle Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 I had two waitning for me in the office today courtsey of Amazon so that me sorted for the next couple of days Quote
davidr Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Just finished 'The Redbreast' which I really enjoyed. Looking forward to reading the next books in the series. Quote
pickle Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 I finished The Devils Star yesterday and am debating whether to go ahead and get the next one or whether to wait until I can't resist anymore:mrgreen: Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted November 11, 2010 Author Posted November 11, 2010 I finished The Devils Star yesterday and am debating whether to go ahead and get the next one or whether to wait until I can't resist anymore I'm doing the latter. I just noticed that I'm on my tenth book since I read The Devil's Star Of course, the danger is that I'll forget all the important little details by the time I read The Redeemer. Harry who? Quote

I know I have resisted the temptation to buy it on Amazon today but its hard, if I hang on a little longer there is no way for me to get it by tommorow and I will miss a sat post delivery because they are rubbish and I am always out...of course it means I will not be able to go anywhere near Waterstones on Sat either otherwise I will hear it calling to me.

pickle Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 Can anyone tell me if they have The Snowman with the older style cover on it, I really like the fronts of the older books and hate it when they change this is the new one and I prefer these older ones [/url] Quote

pontalba Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 Yup, I have the newer one as well. Wish I could get the original. Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 The Leopard is out in hardback today in the UK. Current Amazon price is £5.83: The Leopard - hardback The Kindle edition is also out today, price £4.08: The Leopard - Kindle edition Looks like the new covers to the earlier books are also being issued today Quote
