In fact, the only one I can think of at the moment is Toby Barlow's "Sharp Teeth" and that just came out not too long ago...Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15006565422867420980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438041449595085165.post-28102533784574613642008-12-06T00:28:00.000-05:002008-12-06T00:28:00.000-05:002666 is a masterpiece of world literature.

I posted a minireview a while ago on sffworld since I a bought an arc on Abe months ago.<BR/><BR/>And it's not that hard to read either, the last part is unbelievably good and could work as a novel in itself, the first part funny and enjoyable, the second short and weird, the third is the weakest but still quite good, while the longest and the heart of the book in some ways, part four is dark, depressing and the only one I could not bear reading more than twice, though it has quite a few weird tidbits to lighten the atmosphere, but otherwise it is a litany of murders and rapes of women in a Mexican border town across 10 years or so, some solved, some unsolved and based on reality.<BR/><BR/>It is the best book I read in 2008 by far, and second overall in my 08 favorites regardless of genre since Anathem is just one of those special novels for me that come once a decade maybe in hitting all my "sweet spots"Liviuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04615405766065227026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438041449595085165.post-20622159903887137572008-12-05T05:37:00.000-05:002008-12-05T05:37:00.000-05:00I am very curious about 2666 (I wait for the revie...I am very curious about 2666 (I wait for the review too :)).
