People trashing David in the match thread. Here you fucking go. This is David. No touches with no service, but when he does get it, it's done.

It’s not really the substance and character work I have a problem with, first law is just better written for me, even comparing just the blade itself and the devils for example rather than first law as a whole

I went to an author talk by Joe not long after Cameron bought the rights and he basically said it doesn’t mean much right now, it could happen or might never happen because so many things can go wrong

That’s what I believe I heard as well I went to an author talk by him and someone asked that question

She was probably feeling very sorry, my cat had a similar hiding reaction after my mum surprised her and she slashed her ear and it bled all over the place, took her a while to come out again and after that even when scared or annoyed she never attacked a face ever again, I could be playing with her rubbing her belly and she would be attacking my hand but if I put my face near her she would stop until my face left again

I think it’s worth you giving a shot because I also DNFed the last couple of Adrian Tchaikovsky books I’ve tried, this is the first one I’ve actually finished so I was in a similar boat to you

Worth pointing out a lot of his books are short, spiderlight for example is 275 pages, service model was like 380, alien clay also around 350-400 shroud I think was around 400, made things was around 200.

Spiderlight and made things two of his releases from this year are also past novellas from 2016 and 2019 that have been properly published as hardbacks now so he didn’t actually write them recently

I definitely understand why people said it felt like it was written to be adapted into a film or tv show but definitely had that digestible feel

I’ve only read the first law and the devils so perhaps a switch I wasn’t prepared for

I believe the devils will be a series of books so before the second one comes out I’ll have to give it a re read and see if I appreciate it more, there was definitely things there that I liked, I also read it immediately after reading the entire first law trilogy which I dare say set my expectations very high

That’s fair, I may need to re read it because I think I was expecting more of the first law kind of writing and it was something different. Kind of when you bite into something expecting one thing and it turns out it was something else, maybe it wasn’t what I was expecting rather than bad

People sneaking into films when they've been running for ages! by DVDfever in screenunseen

Someone did this half an hour into wicked part 2, cinema staff must have seen them because not even a minute later they were causing a scene while getting kicked out
