much better then the first. I think the biggest thing is that Miriam is more active in this one. She instigates the actions of the plot rather then running from it. it makes a big difference. also Wendig dialed down the "I'm so gritty, look how dark and gritty I am" writing style. which again made a...
I enjoyed Blackbirds, and was expecting a similar read. Not the case with Mockingbird. Chuck kicked it up a notch and I rode the word-coaster through twists, turns and sudden stops. I'm looking forward to reading The Cormorant, and hope its execution is as awesome as Mockingbird.
You can say what you want about Miriam but you could never take away the fact that above all else, she’s true to herself. So when Ms. Black knows something’s not working out for her, she turns tail and seeks out a more desirable environment. Unfortunately for Louis, settling down with him in a tin...

I can't get enough of Miriam Black. I just can't. I thought the initial delight of discovering this twisted and refreshingly candid series would have worn off a bit by now, but it hasn't. If anything, I think I'm finally starting to sense of who Miriam is and the direction in which these books are g...
This one is so much better than the last one. I feel like the story and the characters were more developed. I really liked how the story un folded and I am interested to see where it goes next. Very dark and violent at times.
A high-octane thrillride that burns with Bukowskian poetry and won't let you goIt's impossible to stop reading this book. It sinks its talons in and won't let go. Really. I stole every minute I could find to get back to it and finish it.But better than just being thrilling, the book builds upon an...
