Great book, as are all of Bunker's prison stories.Mr White said:
Given who he played in Reservoir Dogs, and the title of Eddie's autobiography, shouldn't your username be 'Mr Blue'?

Billy Spurdle said:"Swan Song" by Robert McCammon - for about the fifth time. Yes, it's that good. About 20 years old now but remains the best book I've EVER read. If you love King's "The Stand", you'll love this & probably even more.
McCammon is criminally underrated - his more recent historical novels "Speaks the Nightbird" & "The Queen of Bedlam" are also superb.
Sounds interesting,could you give me a quick run down of swan song,I do like Stephen king so would be interested in that style of writing.

Johnny Got His Gun - Dalton Trumbo
The End of the Affair - Graham Greene
Read both recently; now they're depressing, but both genuinely extraordinary reads

They should make a film of this along the lines of 300.
Army of 10000 deep in persian territory. Battle lost and all the officers executed. Our heroic author steps to the front and leads the surviving army and the camp followers north to the black sea and freedom.
F**ing hell there's a blast from the pas!! (we are talking 40+ years ago !!)
I did it school and alway felt that there was an epic film in ther... ancient equivalent of Napoleon's retreat from Moscow

Just finished 'Not Dead Yet' by Peter James.
Loved the first two or three books in the Roy Grace series but I started to get a bit bored with the last one and this one isn't doing it any favours either.
I'm thoroughly bored with the whole Sandy bit and he needs to wrap it up now.

Spot on. I've read all of the Roy Grace series and they just get progressively worse after the first three.mackenzie said:Just finished 'Not Dead Yet' by Peter James.

Sad, isn't it.
It's pretty obvious he has been told to spin it out, for as long as he can, for the money.
It was a great concept at the beginning but now I couldn't give a sod about Sandy.
Even when her character resurfaces I'm bored.
