I am STILL loving my Warhammer 40K!!!! I am currently on 'The Outcast Dead' in the Horus Heresy. It's a bit slow but has a lot of background fluff.

I'd certainly recommend the trilogy. It is a good story line and well paced. While that said, I don't think I'm as head over heals with it as Tom is/was. While there is some tension in the book, it is mild and too easily overcome by the protagonists.

3.5 Stars out of 5 overall for the series.

You just don't know excellence when you see it, BOb! This series blew me away.

Do you agree that the third was the best of the trilogy?

I just couldn't get into _The Disposed_ even after reading more than 1/3 of it. So, I'm putting it aside for now.

I started reading Steven Jordan's _Evoguía_. It, while different after 3 chapters reminds me of the TV show Alphas. BTW: This ebook is free on his web site.

I finished The Case of the Vagabond Virgin by Erle Stanley Gardner. I love these early Perry Mason books where he is presented as something as a shyster who will go any length—legal or otherwise—for a client. The later books, in which Mason is much more respectable and would never think of planting evidence or forging a check to a blackmailer seem to be less interesting. It's always been my understanding that the character was modified in response to criticism from Gardner's fellow lawyers who felt the character portrayed their profession in a bad light. That being said, in this book, there was not one, but two bonehead stunts pulled by Mason, both of which had the potential to see him disbarred. The second was a disappointment, as it seemed not only unnecessary but the resolution consisted merely of no one ever discovering what he had done. The first was far more fun, as it seemed certain that he was headed for public housing, especially as he was headed for the police department for questioning and told his secretary Della that he would take care of a certain matter when he got back, and Lt. Tragg corrected, "If he gets back."

You liking "Evoguia"? Even at Free it would still take time to read it which might be better spent on another book.

The last half of the second book was too. It's almost like whoever edited the second book stopped paying attention half way through. Even some of the chapter titles had the wrong year, like "James Douglas Bannockburn June 23rd 1304" (it should have been 1314) another one was titled "James Douglas Bannockburn June 23rd June 1304". I haven't gone through 4 straight pages of this last book without at least one typo. I was only at 8% when I caught the first error.
Just finished this one. The rest of the book really had no errors in it. It was much better. I really enjoyed the trilogy.

Now onto Deat Beat the 7th book in The Dresden Files...I'm so excited .

It's more of a slasher type of thriller, with the two characters being chased all over the country by someone trying to murder them, but in this story it's a ghost. Not scary, but it is intense at times. Joe Hill seems to be trying to channel his father (Stephen King) in this story, but he did a great job. I think I'll be checking out his other two books.
Try 'Horns' by the same author. I really enjoyed it.

Meanwhile, I read that book based on your analysis of his writing style. Thanks for doing that

Ahhh, thanks cassidym. --- I imagine you are right and I am wrong on this one.

Thanks!

So you're saying The Shadow of the Wind is a breeze.

Actually, it sounds like it might have made a good choice for the Book Club, but it's too late for the Romance month. Think it would fit into mystery?

It's an amazing book. Brilliance.

It did use one plot device that I'm unhappy with, though.

Spaniards tell me the original is poetry-like.
