Finally got my hands on book two! Can't wait to start reading. This wild story continues...

Good development for the series - and a really fun read! Stark is dealing with his past and becoming more of a detective and less of a brawler (extremely reluctantly). But the ending...damn...infuriatingly well done.

A very L.A noir book, with a sly sense of humor. It's twisted, dark and fun. Much like Los Angeles itself...

My friend's 9 year old son brought a book to dinner and read through the meal. My wife and I talked favorite authors with him over dessert. It's such a joy watching young readers enter the book world.

To walk these dirty streets reading poetry out loud is to risk a 5150 but I don't care because the words feel too good on my tongue to keep them inside.

Liking this book a lot. Darvelle's a very L.A. character: a perfect mix of jaded cynicism and f*ck-it-all enthusiasm.

Sometimes in the middle of reading a novel I'll take a short break and read some poetry. A poetic intermission while I head to the concession stand.

TBT to a book that changed my life. I read it during a real dark point and it inspired me to get back into writing - which brought me back to life. And it's a great read! Vampire -noir, hard boiled all the way and no sparkly vamps included.

Detailed world-building and humanely drawn inhuman characters make this a smart, easy to get lost in monster book. But the main character's damsel-in-distress act goes on way too long. Harkness mollycoddles her characters for 300 pages instead of dragging their butts through Hell.

Every time I see Fforde's Thursday Next novels on the shelves, I pretend for a moment that I'm standing in the Great Library of the Bookworld.

Surprise portrait of Samuel Beckett from a previous (and talented) library patron.
