I don't think Cormac McCarthy is my guy. An interesting expose of the hubris of man? the cruelty one is willing to endure? A reminder that we must rise above the perceived evil nature of mankind in the pursuit of greed and power? Loved the descriptions of how dirty, destroyed and dusty everyone's outfits were, however.

this... was interesting but not very well written.

this was fun, if not very heavy handed at times. Ending left a little to be desired but overall worth slogging thru the slower paced sections.

Second time reading this, still absolutely terrifying at times.
CorpusChristi420 stopped reading The Lost World by Michael Crichton
Michael Crichton is not the author for me.
CorpusChristi420 reviewed Apocalypse by J. Robert King (Invasion cycle ;)
bro I gotta read something other than MTG books
3 stars
CorpusChristi420 finished reading The Thran (Magic: The Gathering: The Thran) by J. Robert King
OK now this is a good ass fantasy book. We got wild topics of genocide, eugenics, a charismatic and charming but ultimately beyond evil villain, goblins, artificers, lizard people, minotaurs, epic battles, sprawling worlds with deep descriptions. Was a true page turner!
CorpusChristi420 started reading The Thran (Magic: The Gathering: The Thran) by J. Robert King
Help, I can't stop reading MTG books (this one actually has some legs though)
this... was not a good book. Unfortunate as it comes close to exploring some interesting issues (climate change, organizing to overthrow oppressive structures, what happens when a golem transitions from cold steel to flesh?) but other then these being simple plot points to hit and then move on, there's no subsistence here.
CorpusChristi420 finished reading The moons of Mirrodin by Will McDermott (Mirrodin cycle ;)
very fluffy, not that elegantly written but fun nonetheless dive into one of the more interesting MTG planes. Love a good goblin/golem combo.
