A Question of Blood (Inspector Rebus Mysteries) by Ian Rankin
tsukonik, March 14, 2008
Intricate Plot that comments on all aspects of crime in modern society (politicians, media, frustrated copy, arrogant criminals). A genuine page turner.(1 of 1 readers found this comment helpful)
The Story Of The Stone by Barry Hughart
tsukonik, June 11, 2007
As in the other Master Li novels, the mostly closed eyes are from laughing too hard. This one makes you shiver at times, and couples a sense of reality with a history of a place that never was, but should have been. A great sorrow is that there are only three books in the series.(2 of 3 readers found this comment helpful)
Bridge of Birds: A Novel of the Ancient China that Never Was by Barry Hughart
tsukonik, June 11, 2007
The quest is almost a cliche in the fantasy genre. Here's one that turns the whole idea onto its ear. In search of a salvation for a village, the heroes find horror, history, humor (laugh out loud funny), and the truth that there is more then just us, there can be justice. A great read.(4 of 6 readers found this comment helpful)
Eight Skilled Gentlemen by Barry Hughart
tsukonik, June 11, 2007
By terms scary and laugh out loud funny, a witty parody on ancient China (that never was) with echoes of today and tomorrow. A great read.(2 of 3 readers found this comment helpful)
