The Word is Pretentious...or Lame if you are less fancy.

Anthony injects himself into his own novel. I initially thought, well that's rather pretentious of you...and I was right. This book is not even on the same plane as The Magpie Murders. Read that one instead.

Watch the Original Movies...

This graphic novel plays a third fiddle to the actual novels and original films. Therefore, you should just stick with the films. I found the books to be good, but overlong at times. 

I love Mike Resnick

I don't read a ton of science fiction, but when I do it's often Mike Resnick. This has a gifted interstellar hunter chasing a mythical beast. Standard fare? Maybe. But it is pretty damn good nonetheless.

GREAT...Read in one sitting if you can.

This book is 210 pages long. It is one sentence. 
Don't let that scare you off. 
It is brilliant. 
That's all I will say.
Please read it.

Old School Mystery...a la my Women's Detective Fiction Class

OK, so I finally decided to clean out my upstairs overflow library. While there I stumbled across this and all the annotations I made in it when I took a night class for fun a few years ago. Anyway, my annotations are honestly the best part. It's good as murder mysteries go, but the constant name dropping of books and authors and multiple quotes from other books may turn the everyday reader off. It does a good job of revealing what a female professor's life was likely like during the 1970s and 1980s though as the author (Amanda Cross is a pseudonym) was a famous professor of literature. However, you will establish who the killer is long before 1/2 way through the novel. 

A Classic...I wonder if the movie is better?

Perhaps I was expecting more, but this classic seems a little underwhelming. I think I will watch the new movie anyway. Also, I don't want to say much about the plot as it's a murder mystery and all. It can be read in one sitting though.

Exellent so far...

This is the book I just started. It's excellent so far. Her book, Accordion Crimes, is truly  exceptional.
