Just finished Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, which I enjoyed quite a bit, as I knew I would. This is the third or fourth time that I've read this book, always intending to continue with the series and never do. Years go by and I decide to read the rest of the books, but before I do I have to read Ender's Game one more time, just to refresh the memory. Then I get sidetracked, time passes, and the cycle begins anew. I've committed myself to getting through the rest of the quartet in the next few months, so I guess we'll have to see how it goes!

Dead Sea by Tim Curran. First two thirds of this book was fantastic, fresh take on the Devil's Triangle. Its a bit over descriptive but it keeps drawing you further into whats going on, then the latter part of the book it gets kind of derailed and I found the end a little unsatisfactory.
Dead Sea by Brian Keene. Pretty disappointing, boring. After his "The Rising" and "City of the Dead" pretty much put him in the forefront of zombie novelist everyone was clamoring for more. This story is not connected to the other books in any way. I found this book to be rather amateurish and simple, if I had not known it I would not have believed it was by the same author.If collecting is an illness, I must be terminal

I believe it's aimed at teen readers, but it was well worth a read.

I didn't know if the end of the book was trying to trick me because it didn't really seem to end to me--do you know if there's going to be a follow-up to it?
I could deal with the science, but the fact that there was more than one Luger pistol in the story was irritating. I don't think any US armory is stocking WWII German pistols.

I'm currently inching my way through NOS-4R2 as part of my pre-WFC reads. It's not grabbed me in quite the same way as Heart-Shaped Box, but it's early days.The home of your least humble servant, Mr Poll: http://lucianpoll.com
