I didn't give this book 5 stars only because I'm a little bit skeptical that Olivia/Joanna can kick Shadow butt with stillettos and little pencil skirts on!!...Other that that I do love the book and will continue to read all the books from her!!!

How sad that this book marks the last of Hornby's collections of his "Stuff I've Been Reading" column in the Believer! I have read all three of the collections, and they're all first-rate -- Hornby is such an enjoyable and warm guide to the world of reading, and he's given me some first-rate recommendations (OK, I suppose other people would also have recommended David Copperfield -- but it was Hornby's recommendation that got me to run out and buy it three years ago, dagnabit!). I'm really glad I read these books and that we have Hornby around, if not, alas, his column...

At this point the genius started wearing thin, although it is still much funnier than most author's best works.

I finally read this book and was disturbed to realize how fragile our minds really are. I know that I will read this book over and over and over.

While number 14 in the series, this is actually the second Eve Duncan book I've tried - both audio-books. I have to say that I enjoyed this one a bit more than Quicksand, but I think it had more to do with my expectations, than with the book itself. The narrator (same on both) didn't bother me as much this time around because I was used to her. And I had a better idea of what to expect from the characters. As with Quicksand, I have to say that these books are lacking a bit when it comes to the science. Maybe the earlier books focus on it more, but very little is said about what Eve Duncan actually does for a living (a forensic sculptor?). And while Joe Quinn "follows the clues", I'm never really surprised by his ingenuity, or deductive skills. Maybe all those CSI shows on TV have me expecting more? In this book, I actually found the "guest characters" more interesting than the usual players. The bad guy is certainly creepy, but his belief that he can truly be some kind of vampire is interesting. And Seth Caleb, a ally of sorts in search of the bad guy, is a very intriguing addition to the cast. While not a favorite series, I did get some enjoyment from this book.
Nabokov is astoundingly brilliant. Lolita is one of the best fiction works ever written.

Birdman is Mo Hayder's first novel, published in 2000. As an entrée served by Hayder before a long list of courses more bloody and frightening than each other, Birdman is perfect. In her debut novel, Hayder introduces Jack Caffery, a detective who will feature in some of her subsequent novels. "Birdman" is the nickname given by the police to a serial killer who has buried five of his victims - five butchered women - in an empty field in London's Greenwich area. Caffery soon realises that the psychopath he is on the trail of is much, much worse than any other he has ever encountered before. Hayder's writing is not dissimilar to the scalpel used by Birdman: precise, lacerating, and bloody. But it's also effortless, and like any good writing, doesn't draw attention to itself; it simply serves its purpose, a story that will keep you on edge untill the very last page of the book. Hayder makes smart use of the environment, the sounds, the colours and the smells; it's almost as if it were not a story you're reading, but a film played on the screen of your mind. Even better, her dialogues sound true and efficient. But what distinguishes Hayder's crime novels from others is an ability to create characters who are real people, not flawless heroes. These characters don't work in isolation, the search for the killer is a team effort win which every member of the crime division has a role to play. And Caffery is simply the musical director who facilitates the development of the piece. I had read Gone - another Jack Caffery novel - before reading Birdman, but this was not a problem. Each Hayder book can be read as a standalone. Birdman shows all the signs of a great writer, including some of the subtlety and smart plotting that Hayder will further develop in her other novels. Two small things disappointed me in Birdman, maybe because I had experienced some of Hayder's later writing. The first disappointment is that towards the end of the story, Caffery does two things which make me instantly lose my compassion - and my interest - for him. If I had not read Gone, maybe I wouldn't have wanted to experience him again. The other disappointment was, once again towards the end of the book, what I perceived as gratuitous gore - the story could have ended without it and without losing any of its edge. This said, and not to end on a downer since I really liked the novel, Birdman is a one-sitting type of read, a story full of twists and dead ends that I guarantee you will not see coming, a book to be read absolutely by any crime lover. I was given "Birdman" by Transworld Publishers as part of The Great Transworld Crime Caper, in which I am currently taking part.
