I couldn't even finish The Passage. I absolutely LOVED part 1 of the book, and then have never been more bored as I was in the second part. While still in the first part, I went ahead and paid well-earned money to download The Twelve...Aghhhhhhh!

I personally think the movie is rather bad but the book is actually very good. Probably Richard Mathesons best book. But hes written other classics like the Incredible Shrinking man but i think I am Legend is better.
I am honored to have you here, MM!I love watching Will Smith work out in the movie but it's not as good as the book. I love the book I Am Legend.
Great thread Danie . . I love this thread and will hang out here a lot . . .
Well, they had that whole first part, and then the second part was (I think)At what point did you not like The Passage? Was it whenthe vampires take over?
I thought it was entertaining. I know Great Expectations is the 'money' book for a lot of people, but I found it a little boring. DC has its ups and downs, but the adventures are fun (even when they don't make a lot of logical sense), the characters are bright, and it just chugs along until the end.Any opinions on David Copperfield? Planning to tackle it (finally) either this month or next.
I've a bit of two minds when it comes to Dickens.. Great expectations is supposed to be the great book but was a little slow and boring to me. DC and Oliver Twist i enjoyed more. And his, my favourite, great The Pickwick Papers. I've had similar problems with others of his as i ve had with Great Expectations. But i think you enjoy DC as long as youre not expecting everything to make perfect sense in the end. But it is a fun ride if an uneven one.Any opinions on David Copperfield?

I hear you. Agreed upon Tale of Two Cities. I never read Bleak House or Nicholas Nickelby or Little Dorrit or Hard Times.... Perhaps they are masterpieces???? But everyone should read his A Christmas Carol. Lovely story.PICKWICK for me as well, followed closely by Tale o Two Cities. But there's quite a bit of Dickens I haven't read, and probably won't. I look at a big dusty monster like Bleak House and get sleepy just reading the spine.
The radio adaptation was lovely Gaiman is a favorite of mine.I've got the BBC adaptation of Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman to listen to. That is one of my favourite books and can't wait to listen to the adaptation. Plus it has the late great Christopher Lee in it. I heartily recommend the book if anyone hasn't.
I have this book in my TBR pile. I think I started reading American Gods, couldn't get into it, so never read Neverwhere.I've got the BBC adaptation of Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman to listen to.

That is one,I have wanted to read.Anyone read The Collector by Jon Fowles?
