Never actually read any of his stuff

He's good
He's better than I thought he would be considering he gets labelled as a "horror" writer, which to me implys pulp fiction. But he's actually a very good writer, not just about scary stuff.

yeah it's bonkbusting but it's intelligent and well-plotted and funny, not like the other slushy shit in that genre.

I loved Riders, Rivals, Polo, TMWMHJ, Apassionata and Score. Not read her latest one though.

I nearly failed my second year exams because I was spending too much time reading Polo and Rivals.

i used to nick them off my mum
my parents were super-strict about things like exams and school, but never lectured me about anything else, i did what i liked. however, riders persuaded even my mum to say, "now you do realise that real life isn't like that, with everyone jumping into bed with everyone all the time"

hmmmmmmmmmmm.

or that she isn't in it?

The former.
But also the latter if I'm wrong about the former.

( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 18 Jun 2013, 13:15, Reply)

I didn't even make it to the end of the first chapter. I don't see what all the fuss is about.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Tue 18 Jun 2013, 13:01, Reply)

If he was any good, he'd have written a twenty book series, like Terry Pratchett!

( Kroney, Tue 18 Jun 2013, 13:02, Reply)

The only reason Pratchett has written so many books is that he keeps forgetting them, so thinks he should do another.
