Author of dark things – thrilling novels and haunting stories
This was in danger of being my least favorite Reacher book - if not worse - but it turns out it's the best! First things first - I love Lee Child and Jack Reacher, and I'm beyond hooked now. I picked up my first book a few years ago, liked it well enough, but really... Continue Reading →
Well, this was… interesting. Let me just start with saying that I’m a massive fan of Justin Cronin. His The Passage and the rest of that trilogy is large responsible for me finding back to my love of reading after not touching a single lick of fiction while I went to university. I spent so...

This made me feel like a teenager again! Even though I don't recall ever having heard the name Anthony Horowitz before, I recognized the title Point Blanc when I walked past the free-secondhand-books shelf in my local shopping mall, so I figured... why not? So I picked up this, as well as Skeleton Key by... Continue Reading →
A-Tier Fantasy! Even if the third book never comes out these two books will live with me forever. Patrick Rothfuss surprised me with The Name Of The Wind. I didn't know what to expect—I'd heard great things of course, so I knew I was even in for a treat, but I also knew a lot... Continue Reading →
Whoa... what a huge disappointment. I... I don't know what happened. I devoured Red Dragon, loved it and and jumped right into A Silence Of The Lambs as soon I was done. After reading that I couldn't wait to get started on Hannibal, which ended up being just as good as, if not better than the... Continue Reading →
Holy shit, I need more Jack Reacher in my life. It's been four years since I read my first Lee Child book. I'd heard about Jack Reacher before, seen that Tom Cruise movie from a while back, and I remember loving the book. But for some reason I never picked up another one. Then late... Continue Reading →
Uten Nåde translates to Without Mercy in Norwegian, and what a merciless book it is! This book is about two things: polar bears, and the people who've encountered them—be that through hunting, research, or other, terrifying encounters. It's written by Birger Amundsen, a multi-faceted man who is (among other things) an Arctic researcher, a journalist,... Continue Reading →
Whoa, where do I even start? Probably one of the best fantasy books... ever? I've heard the name Patrick Rothfuss been thrown around for a while now. I have no idea how long exactly, not since I was very young, but definitely for years, and there was always two things that were mentioned in the... Continue Reading →
Hannibal keeps getting better and better! Not far from becoming one of my favorite villains! I recently picked up Red Dragon, loved it and and jumped right into A Silence Of The Lambs as soon I was done. Both of those books were incredible - not that I doubted that, having been a fan of...

Incredibly sad news this weekend - Dan Simmons, author of one of the most incredible science fiction book ever, has passed. Hyperion is one of those books that I felt like I heard about all my life, but never really knew anything about. If you've followed this blog for a while, you've probably seen me... Continue Reading →
