Hi all,
This week I thought it would be desirable to leave the field of medicine in Byzantium breathe a little, so I am going to focus on another thing.
In a previous post commented that he had purchased a Kindle, Amazon's electronic reader. I commented then that he was delighted with him, but the question is irrelevant for this entry is that since I have the aparatejo I have read other than historical thriller.
If I have to be honest, the historical novel never came in my favorite reading until I started writing 'The Decline of Byzantium' was from there when I got the bug. Previously he was the thriller and science fiction that filled my shelves, so I have only recovered a little past my tastes. And the final reason for this entry is to comment that I've had a good deception.
With all the hype that has had a series of Stieg Larsson, detective stories have surfaced like hotcakes, so I came back to bite and I've read some of the 'best sellers' that I found, with the result after fiasco fiasco.
First I read a book by Camilla Läckberg, The Ice Princess. Many issues and, in my opinion, a bluff. I know I am very critical of the novels, which revolted me the money coming out of the sleeve without rhyme or reason and journalists who investigate and know more than the police, as well as the obvious clues that no one notices and suddenly , half novel become the heart of the case. First disappointment.
Then I followed with 'Northern Lights', Asa Larson, something better but in my opinion, one more. It's certainly not to take twenty editions. Surely if instead of Larson surnamed Perez had called had not sold more than 5000
Next on the list was the observatory, by Michael Connelly. It is part of a series, but, without doubt, the best so far. There is nothing special but at least it has a correct frame logical steps that lead to an outcome somewhat forced, but fairly reasonable.
The room was 'I know what you're thinking', which has a promising start but then goes out of steam and ends with the typical psychopath life. Another best seller undeserved (and the worst is that I have given ...)
And now I'm with 'The library of the dead'. Good name, home attractive, interesting beginning (murder without any apparent link that baffle, and make you interested in finding out how the murderer of planned) and that has just the thing. Starts jumping through time as any Da Vinci code and removed from the sleeve a finding 'magic'. There the story ends, another disappointment.
Finally, after five books just do not find anything that I was hooked. I begin to think that the problem I have, I've set the bar very high. In
Anyway, I think back to the genre that usually does not disappoint, the test. Greetings
