    Phantom by Terry Goodkind

    I have never read anything by him, but his books always grab my attention, so I thought I'd give it a try

    Anyone a fan?

    I found it a little slow and a little bit of a let down after Cell, but I did enjoy how it ended.

    I know you didn't ask me, but I enjoyed it! I liked the idea of a writer having to "go down to a pool" for inpiration. The Big Boy was creepy too. I read it when it first came out, so I could be wrong about things, but that's what I remember.

    lol, that's cool rrivers.

    Yeah, that Big Boy was really creepy. I don't know, I did find it slow, but maybe it was cause I thought Cell had a kind of classic King feel to it, and maybe I was expecting another one of those. Like I said, I did enjoy how it ended and I think it made reading Duma Key all the more enjoyable because I really like that one, and it was closer to Lisey's Story than Cell.

    I know what you mean about King's writing now, it definitely seems more long winded, etc. I am reading "Salem's Lot" now and it is more streamlined.

    I liked it. I was finding Lisey a little too difficult to really pull for but eventually it came. The back story on Scott's childhood was incredible...just insanely engulfing. I really liked it.

    I enjoyed that book.

    Right now, I am reading The Price of Liberty and poetry by Sappho and Pindar.
