I enjoyed it. How do you bluff a telepath?

I liked this one quite a bit, too.

I enjoyed it. It was gritty and it touched on some working class issues of a past era. The author used to be a mechanic and that helps out great with some aspects of the plot. There is also a a coming of age aspect, but it is done differently here.

At the beginning I wasn't sure I'd like it much, but ended up thinking it was the most entertaining of the series so far.

Now reading

Re: What Are You Reading ?(August 2014)

Picking up John Carter on Blu-ray got me wanting to revisit at least one of the books. This edition has the first three. I'm halfway through the first one now.
