I can understand that Gaiman cringed at what happened to Tim and his universe during the run of the main series, but this one is just too far out. Writing is painful and the art is awful.

  Member Since: July 2003  RK: 13 MP: 6,289  | Tuesday March 27, 2012 12:17 AM Rereading Charles De Lint's "The Onion Girl" for the umpteenth time. My copy's actually starting to fall apart. This is one of my all-time favorite books, simply because it's such a heartfelt journey every time - you don't read the book, you experience all the pain and beauty of it. The combination of the horror stories of the characters, what led them to living on the street, and the magic and beauty of the native american legends that come to life around them is just incredible. Definitely recommended if you liked any of Neil Gaiman's work, particularly American Gods. Everywhere I go I repeat: I do not belong here.

Member Since: October 2000 RK: 14 MP: 7,189 | Tuesday March 27, 2012 2:24 AM I've read DC's "Kingdome Come", which was well-written and excellently drawn.I've started on "REd Harvest", another zombie story for STar Wars, which I bought in a fit of insanity. After the first three chapters I can tell it's shit. Force-sensitive intelligent orchids. ...the hell? I feel happy...I feel happy! "I contend that we are both atheists.

Member Since: July 2003 RK: 13 MP: 6,289 | Thursday March 29, 2012 8:15 AM And yet still not the most ridiculous thing to come from the Star Wars expanded universe... For all you other readers, a question: Poppy Z. Brite worth a read? I read one of her(?) books way back in highschool, didn't much care for it, but I like vampire novels and people keep telling me Lost Souls is amazing. Everywhere I go I repeat: I do not belong here.

Member Since: October 2000 RK: 14 MP: 7,189 | Friday March 30, 2012 6:02 PM "Red Harvest" was indeed shit all the way through. Not suspenseful in the slightest and no characters that made you feel for them. At least "Death Troopers", the author's previous SW-zombie book, had some sense of desperation that worked.I feel happy...I feel happy! "I contend that we are both atheists.

Member Since: October 2000 RK: 14 MP: 7,189 | Monday April 2, 2012 2:44 AM Nearly half-way through "Three Musketeers". I read it at work, where I do most of my reading these days, so it's only about 30-40 minutes at a time, which is why I don't seem to read books very fast. A lot of fun, but I was rather surprised to see just how dishonest, cheap and unpleasant the characters, especially DArtangan and Porthos are compared to what little exposure I've had to them from other adaptations.I feel happy...I feel happy!
