I'm a microbiologist with a long-standing love of losing myself in books. My first introduction into the literary world was through mysteries and while I still love to engage my 'little grey cells' while reading, I can also appreciate something silly and creative. I am a visual learner, so enjoy non-fiction, too.

    It's very good. I haven't been a fan of his other books as much as they seemed a bit more mary sue, but this one is excellent. Main character is much better developed and there's more than one which is probably part of why it's better. Great alternate world for a pulp setting with powers, I thought. They have death zeppelins! And nuclear rays! :)

    Is it just me and my books, or does it seem like most of the Shelfari community consistently rates books at or around 4/5 stars.

    Yes, it is, and I'm not sure. I suppose I could just find a place to put that in the review? It's not a bad book, just a bit dense since it's written in a more wordy style.

    Yeah, I am not sure how well it will be either but I am willing to give it a chance. I am also looking forward to the movie they are making of The Traveler's Wife.

    so I'm *almost* done with Turn Coat. I get your complaint but I guess I don't feel like it's *too* slow. Like a definite portion of the mystery was solved even if not all of it. I do hope it gets over soon though. Actually I sort of felt like that with the whole vampire war business also. What I don't mind is the general episodic(and thus possibly slower) feel to the books. I am feeling like 1 things was accomplished, just not the over arching plot. I really wish these were movies, or a good t.v. series that was actually based on the books. anyway. . I'm just being patient .and at least it's not like a wheel of time book..where he has so many characters that it takes a book to get someone across a field. :)

    yeah but if I want to see all the books or how many books we share quickly. . . instead of looking at each book. but oh well. the not being able to say refine searches in just you shelf or *just* see the common books between you and you friends (could do both on librairything) are the only drawbacks of this. I still like the what are you currently reading/owning/wishlist stuff better.
