Genre fiction gets good review in the Indie shocker
I was somewhat surprised to see how positive the Independent's review of John Connelly's[1] new book The Book of Lost Things is.
Then I saw who wrote it. (I was reading the paper edition, where the reviewer's name comes at the end).
I'm somewhat surprised and impressed that a mainstream paper got someone who knows & loves genre fiction to review it.
[1] He's the author I encountered at Fantasycon, went "I have to read his books", and on looking him up on Amazon, discovered that I have heard of his books, I'd just forgotten the name.
