2008-03-25 John Connolly keep em' coming !

I have to say this was not my favourite JC book, this still being The Killing Kind. However i have been waiting to read this one since travelling the globe and as usual it does not disappoint. Always impacting, always gripping, his characters really come to life from the pages. I do enjoy the humorous banter between the three main characters Parker, Louis and Angel. I always found myself pausing after two or three chapters to take account of what had happened previously and to savour what was to come. Thrillingly dark and indeed shocking in places tackling a difficult subject. It continues to border just the right side of the 'honeycomb world' in my opinion anyway. I am just wondering when one of the books will be made into a film adaption although as always I am sure any film will never quite reach the impact of any of his books. Actually I just read that he hasn't optioned any of his Parker books to be made as yet...

Please keep em' coming, I look forward to the Reapers in May.

PS. I also enjoyed the Book of Lost Things ! As a further note, check out Dennis Lehane as he is another favourite.
