Sometimes a recommendation is good..... but books are like music and very personal to the reader.... for me most genre writing is pulp and fun to read but usually one centimeter deep and 100 meters wide...which is what pulp should be and from time to time I love it.... sad to say that when you hear many people tell you that you have to read a certain book it ends up being a "legend in its own lunchtime".... usually from fair to middling with a push or dreadful and in need of several editors.... yes... maybe the book is a page turner....but the writing is painful to read and the dialogue is like an Agatha Christie novel.... wooden, dated and over-hyped....
