You're hating the wrong one!

One of King's most mystifying books. It's a "detective novel" with no trace of mystery. we know who Brady is from the beginning, and watching Hodges slowly piece together the unbelievable coincidences is just an excercise in narrative resolution that has no payoff for the reader. There's no reveal, and the whole thing…

But #5 was abandoned and never released! Or are you thinking of Bento?.

Godrich was a good choice for him. So far it's looking like Roger's going to have the last laugh after Endless River.

what about the new Roger Waters? Its going to be much funnier than any of these albums.

Agreed. Rather than "an integral part of an old-school Hong Kong lifestyle that has been gradually swallowed up by gentrification", this is symptomatic of an outdated, senseless and cruel approach to "medicine" which should be rejected by contemporary society. No scientific merit, and steeped in animal cruelty. Snake…

He's going to be Batman.

hahaha, no but seriously, they're not going to play fucking Adelaide.

As someone who definitely watched this multiple times as a tween at the time, but sustains no memory of it other than the VHS cover, this is fascinating. Or vaguely interesting at least.

I'm just finishing off the Jon Benet Ramsey books in the Shakedown series, which are surprisingly engaging and incisive. Ive been working on this case all year and I'm pretty sure I've cracked it, if anyone wants to know.

I think his boney little third finger is actually on the D string, and the finger with the disgusting dirty bandaid is barring. F#minor?

Hang on, no actually its fine. I'm just blind.

That is a really ugly looking chord he's fingering up there.

I'm not sure what the link between a catburgler costume and the murder of Meredith Kercher is supposed be, exactly. If it is an attempt at some sort of distasteful reference, the emotional fallout from 4 years' unjust imprisonment is perhaps worth considering…

oh, I don't know about that. The fact that she was imprisoned for 4 years for a crime she didn't commit, for instance, might be considered of even more interest to the general public than an outfit she wore to a Halloween party.

Joe Hill's The Fireman… its an odd book in many ways and it has me pretty confused geographically, but it has some of the compulsive readability of his dad's best stuff. And the occasional spot of ultra-violence is written with the same thumping banality that his dad used to great effect in his most horrific moments -…

I find it impossible to make a final decision about but I don't think it was Patsy, although almost seems certain that she wrote the note. I wonder if this is going to lay the blame on the brother, like the Kolar and John Douglas books.

Glad you included my favourite rem track Annie and it's very interesting to read about its conception, but that "unorthodox time signature " is 4/4!

Does the nitpick about Franco stalling for time in the past for no good reason really make sense within the time travel rules of the story? I feel like zipping back and forth as suggested in the review makes no sense, but I'm too stupid to understand why.

You forgot to mention that he is also the handsomest man in the world. That's a factor in his success, surely - genre or otherwise.
