Harper C.: Five Book Friday: Uncanny Graphic Novels (0 comment)

We are in the thick of winter here in the Pacific Northwest, which means it's dark, damp, and chilly. Rather than escaping to stories with warmer, brighter climates, I personally want nothing more than to dive deep into gothic and uncanny fiction as the wind rattles my windows at night...

Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall
	bluenude3, April 12, 2008 I really wanted to love this book,but it was just not to be. The writing is very erratic, which while it suites the character role, it just ended up annoying me. I have read some books that were alternatively written - Ibid is a great example - that accomplished pulling off an alternative style and telling an enjoyable story. Unfortunately, this book was just not one of them. Interesting, but not extraordinary.

The Name of the Wind (the Kingkiller Chronicle: Day One) by Patrick Rothfuss
	bluenude3, April 12, 2008 One of the most well written fantasy novels by a first time author I have read. Wonderful story line that follows a typical fantasy role, yet it doesn't seem old or re-done. Harry Potter for adults.
