Cosmic Banditos

So, I finished Cosmic Banditos by A.C. Weisbecker.   i like it. a lot.  not quite sure what it was about, well, that's not true, it was about everything and nothing, it was like reading a diary, not so much a story, and knowing that it was loosely based off actual events makes it that much cooler.  i wonder how much was actually true, or if anything he wrote actually happened?

the writing is straightforward, and good, and easy.  words just follow each other smoothly, it's not a chore to read, even when he is talking about quantum physics. he writes in a simple voice, and descriptive enough to paint a great picture in your head.  the story itself is interesting.  overall, it was a quick read and a really really enjoyable book.  it also made me stop and think and ponder, which i like in a book.

i would definitely recommend it, but you have to have a certain personality to read it.  it's not for everyone.

glad i read it, but i don't think i want to read his other two books.  i'm happy with just this one. 

book review: unholy night by seth grahame- smith

so i just finished unholy night by the guy who started the historical fiction monster mash up genre.   i have but have yet to read the abe lincoln vampire book, instead i went with the three wise men biblical action thriller book.  glad i did.
i really liked it. the pacing was good, it is an interesting subject, there was enough action and gore and horror to make it worthwhile but it wasn't over the top and didn't dwell on it too much.  an overall good story, bits of humor injected at just the right times, overall well written.  i don't know i would go so far as to call it literature, but i would totally recommend this book.   it's bubblegum, but it's fun.    i will eventually get to the abe lincoln vampire book, i'll probably end up seeing the movie first.  i have other crap i want to read first.

overall, yeah, good book.
