Review: Hollywood Dead

Hollywood Dead Hollywood Dead by Richard Kadrey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Sandman Slim series is one of my absolute favorites. A new Sandman Slim novel is like Christmas for me, I can't wait for it every year. And this has been probably the most introverted, the most sentimental of all the novels yet. I mean there is plenty of gore and wit (which is partly the reason for this being one of my favorites), but there is also a really deep emphasis on Stark's feeling of self-worth. I really liked it and can't wait for the next. Also, I'm a little bit sad hearing in interviews and podcasts that Mr. Kadrey is going to end the story arc in a few books. But until then, please keep them coming every year, sir!

Review: The Silence of the Lambs

The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris My rating: 5 of 5 stars I've read this book like 3 times when I was a teenager, but apart from the main plot I only remembered that I loved it very much. I think I didn't even know at that time that this was the part of a series. Now though I intend to read the whole series in the "correct" order so after finishing Red Dragon, I re-read Silence of the Lambs as well. Even though some memories came back during reading it was still a very exciting and enjoyable experience. Thriller and horror and not my main go-to genre, but I think Hannibal Lecter is one of the best villains of all time. I totally recommend it to anyone, even if not having read Red Dragon. So far, this is the best part of the series for me. View all my reviews
