Yep I DNF'd it! I just couldn't get into it. I felt like there wasn't enough background information starting out with about the library stacks and how each stack related to the different characters so the whole time I was trying to figure out what the hell was going on. Then the story went from weir...
This book was creepy, mysterious, hilarious, and horrifying. The book begins with Carolyn walking back to her home covered in blood and thinking about Father and her brothers and sisters. She remembers how she was once American.'The Library at Mount Char' invokes a whole other world within (beside? ...
This telling is a little reminiscent of the 'Percy Jackson' series, in that the characters have "special abilities," but this is darker (in a Neil Gaiman-ish sort of way). It's not scary, but some parts might be a little revolting to some readers. I enjoyed it for its fantasy equivalent of whodunit....
The Library at Mount Char is one of the more original books I've read. It's been compared to the works of Joe Hill and Neil Gaiman. Content wise, I would agree. With that being said, it's nowhere near as well written as Hill's books, and vastly better written than Gaiman. Love Gaiman, don't get me w...
So this copy was sent to me free from Blogging For Books which is awesome but the book itself I am much more confused on. This was the weirdest book I've ever read. Definitely not my type of book at all despite being somewhere on the science fiction/fantasy spectrum. This book was vulgar, often g...
This is not the easiest book for me to write about. I'm really torn about this. That's not exactly true. I want to be torn about it. I spent a lot of time hating this book, and the rest wanting to hate it (and coming pretty close). I took a break on page 81 to write a healthy paragraph in my notes, ...
The more I think about this book, the more I like it because it's a deconstruction of religion in a way that isn't anti-religion. Disclaimer, I grew up Mormon. This book hits a lot, a LOT, of things that trigger my Mormon Doctrine sensors. Similar to books by Card or Sanderson. I would not be surpri...
“Fate is like a strange, unpopular restaurant filled with odd little waiters who bring you things you never asked for and don't always like.” - ― Lemony Snicket“There will be a few times in your life when all your instincts will tell you to do something, something that defies logic, upsets your plan...
Okay, this was absolutely the strangest book I have ever read and I've read a lot of books. I realize as I'm reading it that I have absolutely no idea what is going on. However, I keep reading. There were so many strange things going on that I had to read it to see if it would tell me WTF happened d...
