almost half way done, I didn't think I'd be able to read it, serial killers ain't my bag, but I must admit I'm getting hooked on the Lucas character.

half done, not liking any of the characters but the writing style is good, and I can easily skip the yucky parts.

Altho I didn't appreciate the first 2 selections of the club I am loving the discipline of being part of the group, it's like having homework :-D

My goal is to be the voracious reader I was as a teen and young adult. I lost it somewhere over the years, probably when computers entered my life.

registereduser: hahaha. Well a good one is the Monthly Author Reads group, an author is voted on each month (well, 3 at a time are chosen) and everyone reads a book (or more, if they're so inclined) by that

author & talks about their thoughts on them. It's very laid back! :-)) And the choices are much more, erm, literary?, than these 2 have been, haha.

morandia: I was able to skip the creepy parts but the rest is just BLAH. It's interesting that Stephen King thought this book was "suspenseful"!

I think it would be a lot nicer if the book were a different type each time. There's nothing wrong with thrillers, but to me the point of a book club is to branch out, have variation, and read things that spark

discussion. Thrillers are, generally, quick entertaining reads, and that's all. Of course there are exceptions, but... I think we could have more actual discussion if other types of book were chosen.

Maybe that's something that needs to be changed someone picks a genre or we have a set list of genres to rotate through and then someone picks a book

OCR of Rules of Prey is completeish

bronsont says

no, DevSpamNull talk about Harry if you wish. I'm 86% done with Rules of Prey and boy is it heating up! Pleased that even though there have been several murders, there isn't a lot of gratuitous gore,
bronsont says

the focus so far is more on the chess game between characters.

bronsont: I must be a delicate flower because the gore was too much and too disgusting for me. What was most disturbing was the maddog's thoughts.

I got more of a sense of what he was like than what Lucas was like!

I understand that, I read lightly the gory parts, but I'm feeling they are reaching the checkmate in 2 moves point.

OMG OMG OMG Just finished Rules of Prey, and no spoilers, but I repeat OMG (LOL)
