Stephen King
Pocket, 2006
Anticipation Makes "VII" A Thrilling Read
+ stephen king dark tower delivers
+ MAGNIFICENT CONCEPT: The symbolic trials and tribulations of an author's quest to write and complete his creation: his book.
I have to sympathize with Stephen King regarding the writing of this book...how do you end a series that has been going on for so long? King has often been criticized (me included) for writing thrilling stories accompanied by unspectacular endings, and this book is no exception, as many readers do ...

Before They Are Hanged (The First Law: Book Two)
Joe Abercrombie
Pyr, 2008
The best I've read in a looooong time
+ Fine continuation
+ Fan-freaking-tastic
Mature, fantasy readers must read this. If you haven't read The First Law trilogy, go buy it. Now. Abercrombie has an amazing style, characters and plot development, and more importantly...the entire series doesn't have a single character or word more than it needs. Absolutely the best I've read, ...
