Advantages: Very funny, easy to read
Disadvantages: Hmmm....

...think that would be unjust. Fahrenheit 666 is comic fantasy but that is about where the similarity ends between AH and TP. To say that AH follows a similar style to Terry Pratchett would maybe be taken by some to mean that he was a TP wannabe, hoping to cash in on TP’s success with this particular genre. This is in no way the case. Andrew Harman loves to play on words and make a mockery out of society and everyday things. He does this very ...
...in them! Fahrenheit 666: This was the first book of Andrew Harman’s I read. This book jumps between Helian (Hell) and Cranachan (on the surface). At the start of the story you are introduced to Nabob, a demon living in the city of Tumor who is sick of his job in the Sinful Service and is standing to be elected as Undertaker-in-Chief of Mortropolis. He enlists the help of Flagit, a demon working for the Transcendental Travel Company (specialising ... Read review

Advantages: Simply, its an amazing book.
Disadvantages: None

Fool Moon starts a few months after the end of the first book, Storm Front. Harry Dresden is called in on a murder case by his friend Lieutenant Karrin Murphy of the Special Investigation Unit of Chicago P.D. Realising that the murders are related to a super-natural being, namely were-wolves, he puts his quick-thinking mind into finding the culprit. However, though there are suspects a-plenty (how many were-wolves can Chicago have?) none are disqualified ...
...book is all the better for it. Like the first book, this is written in 1st person, and you get Dresdens quick wit and humourous insights along with his feelings and thoughts. In this book, you get a more indepth view of Murphy, and how she thinks and Dresden shows he is human by showing deep feelings of regret, compassion and guilt. The novel seems to be slightly moralistic in the way that Dresden has to decide between helping his friend, or telling ... Read review

Advantages: Engaging story of revenge and Heroism
Disadvantages: Relates to 'Legend' and should be read after.

...those who have read Gemell's first book 'Legend' would surely agree. The book follows Druss' journey from a seventeen year old woodsman to the ferocious and uncompromising warrior he becomes in his search for his wife Rowena, abducted by raiders. The book is completely engaging with frequent action and battles throughout. The stories within the book give a background to Druss and develop the character even more from the immense sixty year old warrior ... Read review

Advantages: A Fantasy Murder Mystery Story Filled With Humour
Disadvantages: May Not Appeal To Everyone`s Sense Of HUmour

...The novel moves at a good pace and is filled with humour ranging from silly puns to laugh out loud moments. Overall Feet Of Clay is a very good especially if you are an avid Discworld reader and like myself have a soft spot for the City Watch in particular. ... Read review

Advantages: The plot is excellent, as in the previous three books.
Disadvantages: The book involves the characters in King's Landing, but not the others.

I very much enjoyed reading this book, and have even re-read it a couple of times. George Martin certainly does not dissapoint his readers - the plot is absolutely great, as always. It is impossible to predict what is going to happen next. The characters are very strong, and the chapters of the new ones have been added. I am happy that there are chapters for Cersei now, since I thought that in previous books she has been overlooked and appeared as ...
...character from other angles. However, the book describes only events in King's Landing and Dorne, and the next book should describe others. The language is elaborate, witty and very intelligent, but still is easy to read. Once you start reading this book, it is impossible to put it down - the plot is so catching and unpredictable. And as always, George Martin leaves plenty of room for speculation and wondering about what is going to happen in the ... Read review
