Book reviews for February 2016
Sand (Sand, #1-5) by Hugh Howey
4/5
Very good, I was rather hoping Howey was a one hit wonder but now I see that I'm going to have to read the whole cannon.
Cockroaches (Harry Hole, #2) by Jo Nesbø
4/5
Finally the #2 Hole has been translated. It's a good one. Sad because it's saying goodbye all over again.
The Sellout by Paul Beatty
4/5
Starts with a black guy called Me in the Supreme Court for slavery and gets progressively more weird and funny from there. Excellent.
Fortune Smiles by Adam Johnson
5/5
Stonking collection of perfect short stories. After I finished each one I was gutted that it wasn't turned into a whole book.
