People either have a taste for these type of books or they don’t and we can’t be critical of them for their tastes. And he would approach novels in a particular way, having studied them. Did you read his Wrong Man? I thought it was very good. But then he only ever writes fiction.AMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00559413440743290550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-35019347350473770242010-12-21T08:45:48.554Z2010-12-21T08:45:48.554ZLarry,<br /><br />they are crime thrillers and the two same characters persist throughout the trilogy. I thoroughly enjoyed them.

But it was a great read nonetheless. The following two were more pacy. But I loved them all. I read the first in Ireland the second in Spain and the third in Sweden!AMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00559413440743290550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-10441303344770948682010-12-14T19:46:34.859Z2010-12-14T19:46:34.859ZMy wife, after being in the mid-300s in a queue for the print copy, waited months instead for an audiobook version from the library of the first volume. I heard a bit of it myself, and I found the recital of daily minutiae odd-- what characters bought, how long they drove to such and such, what they ate. Did you find such accumulation of data engrossing? The book seemed steady in pace, but the amount of trivial facts appeared to me likely weigh it down rather than quicken its step.Fionnchúhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16616876266772470719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-30624739709794594602010-12-14T11:57:08.371Z2010-12-14T11:57:08.371ZMackers, do you think it is sour grapes with the bold Dannny?<br />No Morrison tour as yet, would a person survive it if there was?Fionnuala Perryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16112456307341779243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-23875728213267905572010-12-13T18:20:54.751Z2010-12-13T18:20:54.751Zcheers mick<br />seeing different verdicts here but not much on content.

After watching In Bruges i wanted to visit the place to see the streets and buildings and buy loads of chocolate for my mrs.<br />Alas, there are many cities in Europe to visit and student finance is meagre, so its the wee flat in Spain for us.<br />The only thing i can complain about here is..what the &#39;F&#39; are these books about? Any chance of some insight?larry hugheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09837849309156970989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-32312303859502882102010-12-12T23:28:32.671Z2010-12-12T23:28:32.671ZTrust you!AMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00559413440743290550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-37456632284949586662010-12-12T23:24:33.026Z2010-12-12T23:24:33.026ZI *hated* those books. *Hated* I found them repulsive on all levels. As a quick aside, if that is what people think of a a &#39;modren feminist&#39;, one who adheres to too many male msyoginistic stereotypes to list (but I&#39;ll try a few: vunerable and available, bisexual, torture-able, tough, sassy...). I found it trite, badly translated? (as I can&#39;t say written, not reading the original) and sub-airport fodder.<br /><br />And I haven&#39;t even started on the tech. <br /><br />But yes, it is personal taste, and I am still a degenerate old elitist. But they still suck.Stray Taoisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00706836465867332987noreply@blogger.com
