Don’t Damn Me!For quite some time — I’m not sure quite how long — I’ve been meaning to read the so-called “Classics.”
Some of them really appeal to me, others i’ve read good things about, and some don’t appeal to me at all. So i decided to start the ball rolling, and just this afternoon (Minutes before i started writing this post) I placed my order on Amazon.co.uk.
The books I’ve started with are as follows: Read More »
Chion
A perilous journey through the strangest apocalypse .
Set, for the most, in a secondary school in Northern Ireland, and based around a mysterious substance that looks like snow, which turns out to be something a lot less savoury, Chion is a very compelling piece of work.I lazily chose to start reading the book after midnight, thinking i’d give it 20 minutes, enough to give me a taste, then continue the next day. 100 pages later, i finally gave into my sleep deprived eyes and when i did continue the next morning, i finished the book.
Very enjoyable read with an original plot, good characters and more than enough instances to make me think further about what had just happened and how i might have dealt with it.
Something that in my opinion, should be a big part of any sci-fi book/story/film, but sadly is lacking in most titles.
I look forward to reading more by Darryl.
My rating: stars
