"Book of Secrets" by Chris Roberson

Dec 19, 2010 09:31

…Chris Roberson is a great storyteller who expertly reveals the layers of his tale… Finch is an interesting main character: a hard-drinking, chain-smoking investigator with a shady past and a chip on his shoulder. As the reader learns more about his past, it becomes increasingly clear that Book of Secrets is as much about Finch coming to terms with himself as about the mystery and arcana of the main plot… Book of Secrets is an incredibly entertaining and rewarding read for most of the way. Chris Roberson doesn’t spell everything out for the reader, instead leaving some hints and references that, if you catch them, will have your head spinning. If you have any interest in secret history/conspiracy stories, definitely check out Book of Secrets.

Next up:  I'm reading some pretty awesome short stories by Paolo Bacigalupi in his collection "Pump Six and Other Stories".  Seriously - "Pop Squad" - what a story.
