#13 The Griff: A Graphic Novel by Christopher Moore, Ian Corson

I haven't read any Christoper Moore in a long while and I decided to give this one a shot. It was an interesting idea but I really didn't care for how it unfolded. Some of it seemed way too easy for everyone involved but of course the humans have to win in the end right?

#14 Sandman Slim (Sandman Slim #1) by Richard Kadrey

This is for my friend ratseal who has pestered me for a long time to give this a read.

I liked the antihero of this book. Is Stark a good guy? Certainly not in the white hat noble way of looking at things. He is constantly stealing cars but only really expensive ones from people that can afford it. Even though he has spent many years in hell due to his magical friends sending him there he is completely motivated by revenge and to be honest who can blame him. The "good guys" in the book certainly don't like him since there is a prophesy about his coming but he certainly isn't acting the part of a good deed doer. The spoiler about "who" he is was interesting to me since this idea has been cropping up in more books that I have been reading in the last few years. No good myth shall go unplundered by writers. I plan on reading the rest of the series but I will not be gobbling them down. It is nice to know that when I need a good read I can pick up the next book and have a good time.
