good read. some ends to characters I liked. Arya's story is turning out to be the most interesting. Thanks to HBO's Game of Thrones I don't have to imagine faces for most of the characters (not sure that's a good thing)

moved onto the LongEarth (Pratchett and Baxter). About 25% in to the book and very enjoyable so far
My interest started to wane about half way through the fourth book. It was amusing to read his comment at the end saying the next book will be out the following year.
Don't have the desire for the 5th now but I would like to follow Arya's story, and the Imp's.
It's crap itself. Lazy pseudo-cynical journalism which tires itself out within a few pages. So lacking in insight that it could have been written entirely from interweb research. But surely not?

Read through it. Good writing, but I felt very cheated at the end. What end rather.
Is this supposed to be a long running series?
Finished yesterday. The end of the book is a little abrupt and several threads are left hanging. Not very satisfying conclusion to what was an enjoyable read
Found a Laundry Files short story so that's next on the list

Just finished "Dodger", by Terry Pratchett, so after that its onto "Great North Road" by Peter F. Hamiliton (I think my Kindle actually got heavier when it downloaded that... ) and then "Stormdancer", which was sold when I heard the description "Japanese steampunk".
"The Levels" by Peter Benson. A delicate, claustrophobic, desolate tale of a young man stranded at the dying end of a way of life given a glimpse of the new world. The beautiful prose paints a scene of backwater Somerset in the 1960s, a world of small scale farming, basket making and dead-end lives; delightful to visit but deadly to live in. A visiting student, Muriel, arrives with her mother bringing hints of a world beyond Taunton.
Worth a go if you like quiet novels without happy endings. No lasers, spaceships or dragons.
