The last book you read?

[Black Death]

Just finished "Random" by Craig Robertson. A book about a serial killer that kills his victims at random (such as picking a name out of a fish bowl of business cards at a restaurant). What made this book even better though, is unlike most novels of the sort I have read, there was no backstory about the police and their involvement in solving the case. At least not from their perspective. The whole thing was written from the killers point of view, almost like he was keeping a diary during the whole experience. First one I've read lately that is in that vein and isn't more to do with the police investigation.

Up next: Game of Thrones.

Fiction. But still well done that it could have been real...if that makes sense.

I totally hear you on the police thing. I tried one of those Alex Cross novels by James Patterson and I was way more interested in the killer than the main protagonist. Whilst the character development of said killer was moderately well done, the whole format did not make entice me to try out any more of the series.

 you need to check out Dan Wells  "I am not a Serial Killer "  it might interest you . I about a teenage boy we knows that he has the impulses that can make him a serial killer and how he fights the urges until a real one shows up in his small town. To save his family and friends all bets are off


well written book and there are two follow ups to it.

Exactly. I've read tons like that and just can't get into it enough because the part that I am more interested in/captivated by isn't the focus.

I'll give that a look, BD. Sounds like an intriguing read. I've also got "Wasp Factory" by Iain Banks to read soon.

Fool Moon was excellent, best book I've read in a while, I'm hoping Grave Peril can top it, it's started out well  but Fool Moon is a tough act to follow.

The Last Book I read was I am Number Four before the movie even came out. The movie isn't anything like the book. The book much better.

It's been my experience that the books are usually always better than the movies. There are a few that follow, but for the most part, most of them don't even come close.

Just finished the first two books of the Hunger Games trilogy. Man, this series is fucking good. Like really good. Fast reads too, im generally not a speed reader but ive been finishing each book in about 5 or 6 hours.

Was thinking about reading the Hunger Games series next. Right now I'm in the middle of The Knight, third book in the Bowers files collection by Steven James. Pretty good, but also focuses a lot more on the profiler's point of view although he isn't the typical profiler.
