Murder by Death
Murder by Death rated it 6 years ago
I bought this book one day, because I was busting for the bathroom and the Library was the closest public one; I felt a little bad about just going in to use the facilities, so I popped into the FOTL shop (again) and picked this one up. Meh. It wasn't bad or great; it had it's moments, but while ...

I had a true love/hate experience reading this book. Full disclosure, I have not read the other books in this series, and I probably won't. I read this for a book club with the understanding that the book could stand alone, and I suppose it did. There were numerous times I almost quit. The first o...

The moment I opened this book (and yes I know I say this a lot) I knew that I would love this book from the first page. My dear readers, did you, like me, never want this book to end? I wanted it to be longer. I savored it, took my time...but at the same time, I was reading pages whenever I had the...

From the blurb: Walter Moers transports us to a magical world where reading is still a genuine adventure, where books can not only entertain people but also drive them insane or kill them. How could anyone resist that? The City of Dreaming Books is a tale about Optimus Yarnspinner, a budding writ...

El libro no está mal pero desde mi punto de vista tiene un par de "peros...". El primero que no termina, es decir, habrá más y la acción queda un poco relegada a un segundo plano, solamente hay presentación de personajes y tres o cuatros situaciones de "actualización" del mundo. El segundo es que ha...
