City of Thieves: A Novel by David Benioff
City of Thieves: A Novel

Angus, August 9, 2008

Perhaps it would have been better for this reviewer to have omitted her reference to having been fulfilled at the conclusion of Scott Smith's silence when his "The Ruins" was published: I can't think of a worse example. Smith's "A Simple Plan" is a thriller of such genius that it was lauded by both readers, viewers of the film based on it, and critics of both disciplines; "The Ruins" is a disaster in each of these areas, thus providing a major disappointment for Smith's fans.

Hopefully, Benioff will fare much better than Smith--at least he's got some good reviews to show for it.

The Melancholy Fate of Capt. Lewis by Michael Pritchett
The Melancholy Fate of Capt. Lewis

Angus, November 9, 2007

Is Michael Pritchett the same man as the actor and reader of so many audiobooks? Just curious.
