pontalba Posted January 20, 2011 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 I just ordered The Leopard through Abe Books, but it's coming from The Book Depository...free shipping but 21.39 USD....there was a paperback on sale there too, but with shipping it would have been the same price. hah, so hardback wins this time. It must not be out over here yet, Amazon U.S. claims the paperback is out of print. ?? Weirdness. Quote
Maureen Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I am on a Jo Nesbo diet at the moment. Have so far read The Nemesis, Redbreast, The Redeemer, and I am now a bit more than halfway through The Snowman. I do hope that his other works will be translated - pity if they aren't. If I had to chose between the first three, I think The Nemesis is my favorite, although I am not sure whether it is because it was the first I read, or just because. Redbreast was a bit confusing because it jumps forwards and backwards in time so much (and I was reading it while on holiday abroad, although I read Redeemer while on holiday too). Snowman is turning out to be just as enjoyable - I do love Harry Hole. Quote

It could also be beacuse I have no dates in the beginning of the chapters or parts in my ebook edition. Snowman is turning out to be just as enjoyable - I do love Harry Hole. Have you read The Devil's Star, Maureen? It fits in between Nemesis and The Redeemer, and ties up some fairly major plot threads from the first two books I'm about 350 pages into The Snowman now. It's fab isn't it? Edited January 25, 2011 by Karsa Orlong Quote

I haven't read The Devil's Star yet. I always seem to be doing that - reading books out of sequence! Now it has even become a tradition! I have read 57% of The Snowman. I agree with you - it's fab.

Karsa Orlong Posted January 26, 2011 Author Posted January 26, 2011 Finished The Snowman. Wow. I've reviewed it here. Now I have to decide whether to plunge straight into The Leopard or to read something else first. Life's so hard sometimes Quote
pontalba Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Terrific and accurate review! Still waiting on The Leopard.....grrrrrrr! Quote
pickle Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Great review of The Snowman glad you enjoyed it.....Go on read The Leopard and let me know as I am waiting til I get paid before I buy it...and I hate waiting Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted January 27, 2011 Author Posted January 27, 2011 Thanks Pickle I'm torn. I think I've pretty much decided to read Lee Child's 61 Hours before I read The Leopard, as I have the sequel to that one waiting to go as well. Plus I'm worried that I won't enjoy The Leopard so much if I read it straight after such a fantastic finish to The Snowman So you hate waiting and I'm forcing myself to wait Quote
Zumii Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 I've got the first 5 books to feast on once I finish reading Never Let Me Go. Can't wait! Quote
pickle Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 I've got the first 5 books to feast on once I finish reading Never Let Me Go. Can't wait! I am jealous I wish I still had them to read hope you enjoy them Quote
davidr Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) I've just finished 'Nemesis' which I loved. Needed to start on my pile of 'Books to be Read' by my bed (Picked up 'Wolf Hall' by Hilary Mantel which I am really enjoying much to my surprise) so I am delaying ordering 'The Devil's Star' for the moment, but it wont be long before I do!

Karsa Orlong Posted February 13, 2011 Author Posted February 13, 2011 Just finished The Leopard. Now what am I going to do? Quote
joe Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 I am halfway throuigh The Leopard and I am going to pick up The Redbreast from the library tomorrow, love Harry Hole Quote
Cherbs Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 I read all of these books after I read The Girl with Th Dragon Tattoo ones and I have to say I loved them all. I think my favourite was The Snowman. I thought Harry Hole was absolutely brilliant. The fact that "the good guy" had his flaws made it all the more believable. When more Jo Nesbo books are translated I will definitely be buying them!

dk_know Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 I'm in the middle of The Redbreast and I'm not liking it as much as everyone else is, what's wrong with me?! Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted May 5, 2011 Author Posted May 5, 2011 I'm in the middle of The Redbreast and I'm not liking it as much as everyone else is, what's wrong with me?! Maybe you're not in touch with your Scandanavian side Quote
dk_know Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Maybe you're not in touch with your Scandanavian side Haha! possibly, but I love Larsson's books though, and I've read Let The Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist, and I've got Handling The Undead waiting to be read... Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted May 5, 2011 Author Posted May 5, 2011 Maybe you're too in touch with your Scandanavian side Nah, it'd be a pretty boring world if we all liked the same things! Quote
tishwebb Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 I love his books! Am halfway through The Leopard at the minute and I am loving it!! Have read The Redbreast, Nemesis,Devils Star The Redeemer and Snowman...couldn't put them down! Tish x Quote
dk_know Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 I totally take back what I've said about Nesbo; just finished The Redbreast and really enjoyed it! It was tough going in places, but for overall story it was very good! Quote
tishwebb Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 I found that The Redbreast was slow to start with but am glad that I kept going with it Quote
Tai_Mai_Shu Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 USA Today has an article about him and talking about the book The Snowman. I might have to check it out. Quote
BloodyNine Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Karsa - Nesbo should employ you as part of his promotions team I have just order myself a copy of redbreast Quote
