Yeah. You really need every panel to follow a Bash Street Kids strip. -

Oh shit. I need to know how it goes on.

That's the thing though. When I bought the first of his books I read through it in 2 days. As I was reading it, I realised it wasn't remotely high brow and sometimes the actual writing and plot annoyed me but I still had to read on to see what'd come next.
Then I read the other books and by the 3rd I was getting the feeling you get with some of Pratchett's discworld books.
You've already read this book.
He's kept the structure but put a new plot on top of it.
So I see where all the "He's shit!" comments are coming from.
Still. I read them and enjoyed it in a way you enjoy a kebab which you realise isn't exactly all that great but gives you the quick fix you seem to crave at that point in time. -

How would I know what Pug and the gang were up to otherwise? -
Stuart MacBride is the worst authoer I have ever read. And the only one that I have stopped half way through feeling genuine anger that it was allowed to go to press. I only picked it up because so many people were raving about it, and when I flicked through the detective was in my neighbourhood in Aberdeen, so won some bonus points already. Absolute rubbish. -

So. New novel out in a couple of months. This time he's going to horribly rape Dante.
Wonder if opinions are the same since 2009.

Registered 16 years agoim quietly confident that once the names of the protagonists are released, i will be able to predict every major plot point in the book up to and including the betrayal by an old friend/mentor. -

Ive read two Dan Brown books, that one and TDVC and I was genuinely stunned by the fact that they are the same books with the main characters names crossed out.
I quite liked the one about the meteor. Whichever book that was.
Plot point for plot point, beat for beat they are exactly the fucking same. Its genuinely criminal. -

The meteor one is the one (I think) where a microdrone the size of a mosquito pushes a grown man into a hole, and people wield guns which use snow as ammunition.
Which wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the "ALL TECHNOLOGY IN THIS BOOK IS REAL...REAL" disclaimer at the beginning. -

Registered 16 years agoTo be fair, if the books are anything like the films, I would take Dan Brown any day of the week over whatsherface. Twilight was absolutely nauseating.
Gremmi is a big fan of tween fiction, so I bet hes read all of the twilights so he can make a fairer comparison. -

I am pleased to say that I have never so much as taken a Twilight novel off the shelf (except to get it the fuck off our bookcases when rearranging, anyway).
