Books

I have just finished The Dice Man by Luke Rhinehart and Jesus Christ was it a slog to get through. I dont know if it was the way it was written (auto biographical style) or something else but I found it took a really interesting idea / concept and managed to deliver it in the most mind numbingly dull way.

It went far too in depth on some of the situations described during the course of the book that I really felt were unnecessary and ignored other opportunities to expand on other, more interesting aspects.

On the whole I wouldn't necessarily say it was a bad book but would I recommend it to anyone? I doubt it.

After this I went back to my comfy place at the moment, being the deathlands books for number 46 to find they have changed half of the cast of voice actors in the Graphic Audio adaptation I listen to.

I guess it makes sense in terms of how long they will have been recording these books but the new voice actor for the main character is fucking dire compared to the one I'm used to and lends the character a different feel in a particularly negative way.

I'm not going to give up with them yet and I hold out the hope it will get better. Failing that hopefully I'll at least get used to these new actors.

On the whole a disappointing week!
