Red Country - Likewise Book Reviews

"I can't very well put in words how good this man's stories are. I have read them all but the shattered sea Trilogy. Everything else is flipping awesome ! I like audiobooks too & the narrator for Abercrombie books is the best. There is so much detail & funny truly funny, dark, nail biting, content. Characters I love & some I hate. There is much of the grey area of real life that Abercrombie captured in his books, like Bukowski & McCourt did. "

"I've read the other First Law books at least 3 times, and had never delved back into Red Country, as, at the time it was my least favorite of the 6. As this book is the most recent to his new trilogy "the age of madness", it was great going back and seeing where the author left off before the time jump.<br/><br/>I still get goosebumps reading about the Bloody nine, but Shy and Temple were much better, believable characters reading it a second time. The idea of the Gold rush, and how these towns could rise and fall overnight was incredibly well done with Cosca......his fate deserved. I would give this one a 4.5, but because I love his works upped it to a 5!"

"Kind of wanted to see Shivers and Logen fight, but I digress."

"I suggest starting from the beginning of the series or you'll do yourself a disservice. The first law trilogy. "

"I haven't read the book yet, looking at my options for when i do :) I'm interested in reading Tolkien, but we'll see."
