Borne by Jeff Vandemeer, who also wrote the Southern Reach Trilogy. He’s considered one of the New Weird writers, a genre that tends to “break down the barriers between fantasy, science fiction and supernatural horror” according to Robin Anne Reid.
I find his books uncomfortable, interesting and hard to give a synopsis.
I finished this one in 2 days flat...I can't understand the low reviews on Amazon, as I am giving it 5 Stars! The book is both wacky and at the same time brilliant!
At least with Connelly, we don't have to wait very long for the next book; he seems to turn out a new one about every 12 to 18 months. Apparently Harry Bosch may be handing over the reins to Renee Ballard.
"I write in real time. My characters age, and Bosch is aging out," Connelly says. "Hopefully, I'm gonna be writing longer than Bosch is gonna be detecting, so it was kind of like looking for a new protagonist to carry on."
I was thinking that might happen. I'm definitely keeping and open mind because he's an excellent writer but I'm not liking the Renee Ballard character as much as I like Harry.
I finished The Ditch by Herman Koch and was disappointed. Koch initially draws you in, but as the story progresses it veers off track leading into side stories that go nowhere and have no bearing on the plot which, in itself, was weak. The ending was equally disappointing. I thoroughly enjoyed Koch's last three novels. Oh well, three out of four ain't bad.
Presently reading Big Sky by Kate Atkinson. The fifth book in her Jackson Brodie series
