for those concerned about my literacy...

[tnmisery]

I finished Reliquary by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child tonight.  It was a skimmer until Agent Pendergast showed up.  Even then, certain characters had entire chapters dedicated to them for no good reason.  They were sucky characters that served no purpose, so I edited them out myself and really wished they'd just hurry up and die or fly off to Borneo.  Whatever.
Still Life With Crows = ****
Reliquary = ***

This star rating system is as follows:

5 stars = OMG THIS FUCKING BOOK MIGHT SAVE MY LIFE ONE DAY
4 stars = Damn, I wish I read more books this good.
3 stars = I'm not sorry I read this.
2 stars = I can't believe I read this
1 star = I put this motherfucker down it sucked so hard

Here's the list of the "Pendergast Novels" in order and the link goes to the authors' official site.

• Relic
• Reliquary
• Cabinet of Curiosities
• Still Life With Crows
• Brimstone
• Dance of Death
• Book of the Dead

I've got all of them but Relic and Cabinet of Curiosities.  Damn it, I need those!!!  I can't just read the others without having the full back story on Pendergast!  He's my new book boyfriend.  Yeah, he was a little ill defined in this one, but my book boyfriend does become the star of the series.  The writers better not piss me off and kill my genius-badass-emotionally distant-agent man.
