Death Stryke Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 /Bul .. Seriously meh ?? I thought it was pretty cool.. Wait till you get till book 3 though.. Will blow your head off.. Book 4 is really really dull... Around 15% done with dance with the dragons and its really really good.. All the kickass characters are back. @ DS -- If you like David Baldacci, you cant go wrong with MAtthew Reily too.. Non stop action.. Book equivalent of uncharted.. lol Ohk thanks, will check his books too. But now I'm jus keen on Baldacci. U read his books? I'm buying 2 out of Total control, absolute power and winner (which r what i deduced his best 3 works). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theneurotoxin Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Surely, Tyrion being BOSS in Kings Landing was not meh. I for one liked ACoK more than AGoT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Bird Bird Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 @DS: Deliver Us from Evil got me hooked on to David Baldacci. Very well written thriller and never loses pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 The reviews for DwD are pretty mixed so far. Alarmingly comparisons to Feast of crows are being made, although most people admit this is better but not by a long margin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulovski Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Finished CoK. Started SoS and it already seems better. I reiterate that CoK was meh - it just sets the platform, the fate reserved for all books in a series. The only good book 2 i read was book 2 of Wheel of Time. SoS has started well - did four chapters. When do I get to the RW part everyone keeps talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmage Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) You get to RW at Around 60 percent of the book... Dimaag ka mind blast confirm then :| Edited July 28, 2011 by Madmage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Wait till you get to AFFC and all the good work done by the last book becomes undone. Its like a 1000 pages long and it takes you a while to realize that at the end of it all nothing has happened. The story hasnt progressed at all. Also flipkart changed its release date for ADWD to mid August. Now I feel I should have gone with the Hardcover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmage Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 /Aft -- repeats kindle argument I am almost 30 percent done with ADWD.. I am reading it so slowly..Want to savor every page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Eh. Not until I have had a chance to try it in real life. Honestly though, book beats all. :| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmage Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Catch up with Bul Mamu and see it. I was a skeptic like you too but now am a believer. Come to the dark side, we have the obligatory cookies and all the books Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ne0 Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Guys, give me some good David Baldacci books. Someone told me they're pretty fantastic. Will pick 1-2 from Flipkart. Which r good? Also, picking Adiga's newest book as well. Total control. Ending is kinda disappointing, but oh man, the book is a race from first page to last. One of those, all night readers.

Bird Bird Bird Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) All you Kindle whores. Nothing beats the smell of a fresh book. Total control. Ending is kinda disappointing, but oh man, the book is a race from first page to last. One of those, all night readers. sh*t sh*t sh*t. I started reading it and then forgot about it. Gotta start from the beginning now. Edited July 28, 2011 by CookieNinja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 @mm So ADWD better than AFFC so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmage Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 /FAtty -- Keep telling yourself that :| /Aft -- Much much better. HAs to be right? It has all the cool characters. Tyrion, Danaerys, Jon etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Hmm I dont know man. Both reviews I read mentioned that the story doesnt really progress in this on either. Hopefully thats not the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theneurotoxin Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Daenerys’ chapters were never a favourite of mine. Tyrion's chapters are, supposedly, weak and Bran's the highlight of the book in ADWD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 I never really liked Daenerys either. Someone said that she was like Sansa but with power and that seems about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Bird Bird Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Massively f**ked up - Rumors about Apple buying B & N ! WhyTF ?
