(And what is wrong with the word "novelist"?)

It was a good holiday!
::shudders:: I hate thinking about it. But I like to tell myself that no one is paying close attention to me...jay said:You think you’re not!!??
LOL, and that's why I missed you this summer.[coming back from control room] and Libra, didn’t you wear that t-shirt yesterday? For shame! (and pick up your room!)
but seriously, just go read _We Need to Talk About Kevin_ by Lionel Shriver. Rosemanry’s other baby can wait.

I found it a bit tedious at times but there are some okay aspect in it. Unfortunately I don't like the new characters in the book and after book one I was pretty much hoping that the gunslinger would be traveling alone for the most part of the book with different incounters.
Still, it's an okay book to spend some time on in my vacation so I guess I'll finish the series at some point.
Bad book. If I hadn't been bored to death I would never ever have read this one.As the international team of scientists at the spectacular Trudeau Research Center prepares for six months of unrelenting Arctic winter, three of their colleagues are found dead and their bodies contorted in ghastly, unnatural positions. An American epidemiologist, the talented and unconventional Dr. Jessica Hanley, is summoned to investigate the medical riddle posed by these grisly deaths. At the same time, a decorated Russian admiral in Moscow is assigned a top-secret mission to locate and retrieve a Russian submarine that has suddenly and inexplicably vanished from central command’s radar.

So there is hope for the series to become better, that's good to know.ions said:I felt the same way about the new characters after reading that one but after time I grew to like them. Well, like most of them and tolerate the one I'm not a big fan of. The Waste Lands is a better book and may help you appreciate the new characters more.
