...Alyce's blog, also known as At Home With Books, discussing the Best and Worst of author Katherine Neville. The Eight was her best, and her sequel to it The Fire, released almost twenty years later, was her worst, sadly. Have you read either of these? If so, please stop by and let me know your thoughts!
I'm just stopping by to say thank you for your lovely guest post!
ReplyDeleteI'll be sure to check it out!
ReplyDeleteI LOVED The Eight! I gave it to my mother, who normally doesn't like anything with fantasy elements, and she loved it too. (I also give copies of it to anyone who tells me they need something new to read) I greedily devoured Neville's other books, although none were as good as that first one, and rejoiced when I heard that at long last we were getting a sequel. And then I read it and thought "WTF?" I thought maybe my desire to read it had overcome my senses, so I gave it to my mom (who didn't like it either) and then tried again 6 months later. Blech. I took it to sell at the used bookstore and the girl working the trade-in counter said "Oh, I loved the Eight! Hated this one, though." LOL
