Story
Bled dry by interminable warfare, infighting and bloody confrontations with Lord Anomander Rake and his Tiste Andii, the vast, sprawling Malazan empire simmers with discontent. Even its imperial legions yearn for some respite. For Sergeant Whiskeyjack and his Bridgeburners and for Tattersail, sole surviving sorceress of the Second Legion, the aftermath of the siege of Pale should have been a time to mourn the dead.

Wow.
What a great book. Building on from the previous books, with call backs and returning characters ending in an amazing crescendo. Can't wait for the next one!

Good but last 1/3 of book feels rushed
Reviewed: 10-01-2016
Loved ready player one and so I bought this book. I liked the majority of the book. Good humour, story and cultural references. But I can't help feeling that the The last 1/3 of the book was written under the looming deadline. The story final story brushed over and told in a rapid, slapdash manor which is a real shame.

Story
The Ocean at the End of the Lane is a fable that reshapes modern fantasy: moving, terrifying and elegiac - as pure as a dream, as delicate as a butterfly's wing, as dangerous as a knife in the dark - from storytelling genius Neil Gaiman. It's about memory and magic and survival, about the power of stories and the darkness inside each of us. It began for our narrator forty years ago when the family lodger stole their car and committed suicide in it, stirring up ancient powers best left undisturbed.

Neil Gaiman narrates this wonderful fantasy book. His performance is fantastic. He could read a shopping list and it would sound amazing. I loved the story and it stuck with for several months after I listened to the book. Highly recommend.

Story
Zombies in North London, death cults in the West Country, the engineering deck of the Enterprise: actor, comedian, writer, and self-proclaimed supergeek Simon Pegg has been ploughing some bizarre furrows in recent times. Having blasted on to the small screen in the gut-busting and now legendary sitcom Spaced, his enduring appeal and rise to nation’s-favourite-son status has been mercurial, meteoric, megatronic, but mostly just plain great.

Simon Pegg has written a smart autobiography which combines elements of his life and also a fantastical story involving "The Peggster". He narrates his story very well and there are many laugh out loud moments. Great book.

Story
The Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched firsthand experiences of the survivors from those apocalyptic years, traveled across the United States of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that once teemed with upwards of thirty million souls to the most remote and inhospitable areas of the planet. He recorded the testimony of men, women, and sometimes children who came face-to-face with the living - or at least the undead - hell of that dreadful time.

This is a great story, told through many different narrators, playing characters who tell us their individual story which feeds the overall narrative. Very cleverly done and well written. Nothing like the movie (which is also excellent)

Now, at last, the man himself tells us the story of life in the crossfire hurricane. And what a life....

I`ve enjoyed getting into Harry Dresdens world. The story is well written and excellently narrated. James Marsters performance really encapsulates Harrys wizard world weariness. I`d recommend this book and I`m looking forward to reading the next in the series.
