Quick Review: The Last Wizard

Being a single book, it seems shallow somehow. In fantasy, you need to do a lot of writing to create the world the action is happening in.
The start is bad, but later on it seems it was purposefully written like that, and it gets better as you go along. Quite nice in the end actually, and “throws” a few ideas towards those who care to pick up on them.

Quick Review: Couplehood

Funny, but also makes you think about a few things; most of what it says there rings so true… Makes you wonder “If it’s like that, then why the heck am I in a relationship?”, and if you answer “Because I love her/him, why else?” you passed the test. Funny how a funny book makes you sit and think afterwards, even though while reading it you can’t really see a value aside from being funny…

Quick Review: Sword of the Prophets

Read it a while back.
Being a single book, it lacks the depth of fantasy series, since in fantasy you need to do a lot of writing to create the world the action is happening in. But, taking it as it is, it’s good enough.

Quick Review: The Lovely Bones

It didn’t seem like much in the beginning, but develops very nicely later on. Very good overall, and an interesting “what happens after we die” too, even though I tend to not agree with that theory.

Quick Review: The Borough

Too real for my liking… Books, movies and computer games are my ways of escaping from reality; something that I try to do as often as possible. So I don’t want to bump into something too real in a book.
But, aside from that, it was all right.
