Let's see, been a while, but recently I've read/listened to:
1) The Ocean at the End of the Lane (excellent)
2) The Log from the Sea of Cortez (good, if you like John Steinbeck and/or marine biology)
3) Promise of Blood (not my favorite, but I can see it's appeal)
4) Broken Mirrors and Grim Tides (way more fun than I thought possible)
I think Gaiman actually had the deck stacked against him this time - it'd been nearly 10 years since Anansi Boys, and 5 years since the Graveyard Book, and he's been so successful that it wouldn't have surprised me if the backlash started to spread. But this book really surprised me, and felt unlike any of his other books. It's incredibly personal, and the restraint he shows in the writing is incredible. It's a short book, and it's the perfect length for the story he's telling.
I've been doing my reading mostly through audiobooks as of late, and have been reviewing them over at
the AudioBookaneers, if you're interested in reading more of my in depth reviews, you can check them out there
If not - I'm sure I'll keep posting sporadically in here!
Next up, I'm gonna check out The Cuckoo's Calling and Robert Jackson Bennett's American Elsewhere. (The Troupe was one of my favorite books of last year, hands-down.)
