    A buddy (who's also a big King fan) loved the Talisman but didn't think Black House was as good. That made me a bit nervous going into BH because I had issues with Talisman (though I still enjoyed it) and the second-person narration threw me at first. Thankfully, BH has turned into one of those books I can't put down!

    When you finish the books, let's talk about this. In my opinion, they both were awesome, but there were some missed opportunities for awesomeness along the way!

    Scar Tissue by Anthony Kiedis. Man, that motherfucker has done a lot of drugs. :shock:

    Still a really good book. Good for a Chili Peppers fan like me to get an insight on the lesser known details of the history of the band.
    LOVED that book.
