A First Time Reader.

So, today I found a left over book-shop gift voucher and bought The Real Story, Forbidden Knowledge and A Dark and Hngry God Arises.

I'll be reading them after i finish my current book (Neverwhere by Neil Giaman.)

I figured I'd stick all my thoughts in one thread as I go along to avoid spoilers.

So, yea, watch this space in the next week or two.

We'll be watching, Warmark. That's what we do here.

Hang on. You are in for quite a ride!

I started tonight.

Enjoy the ride.

Warmark:
The story is rude, crude, and vulgar in sections.
But as Sorus said: "Enjoy the ride."
One of the best sci-fi stories I have read yet!
(Another Donaldson masterpiece)

I agree, you will only regret reading the Gap if you do not finish it.

Post by **CovenantJr** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 9:00 pm

It can take some getting used to because, unlike Covenant, the Gap's suffering isn't alleviated by scenes of beauty or tranquility. It's brutal and vicious pretty much start to finish, but also utterly brilliant. Again, it takes some getting used to, but that's an effort very much worth making.

I agree with the others - this is a great series. The first book is rough and there are parts that are hard to get through, but if you can stick through it, the last 2 books are some of the best sci-fi I've ever read.

Warmark, any progress reports?

Post by **Warmark** » Fri Jul 31, 2009 9:34 pm

Sorry, im away from home just now and i forgot the take my book with me.

However, im about 100 pages in and i'm really enjoying it. Angus is superb.

I just finished The Real Story, so I'll be starting Forbidden Knowledge tomorrow.

I'm taking an absolute age to get through this book, but i am really enjoying it. Davies has just been ''born'' and the Amnion bio-chemistry culture is very well done.

Kind of disapointed by the lack of Angus though, hopefully there will be more of him in the later books.

Without getting into specifics, your patience will be rewarded.

I just got to a chapter about Angus. He's just been turned into a cyborg.

Hopefully he does some awesome stuff with all his new gadgets.

Ah, you've reached the point where things start to really get interesting.

Post by **Warmark** » Tue Sep 15, 2009 2:49 am

Onto ADAHGA tomorrow as i finished FN tonight.

Post by **Savor Dam** » Tue Sep 15, 2009 3:12 am

Agree 100% with what CovenantJr said.

Post by **StevieG** » Tue Sep 15, 2009 1:33 pm

I agree with you Warmark, Angus is a very interesting character. I always loved reading a chapter from his POV.

ADAHGA is not only a great title

, but it is where the series becomes unputdownable!! It just goes from great to brilliant IMO...

Would it be a spoiler if I told you about all the beautiful unicorns who end up saving the day?
