Dutch opinions

[phedre]

Hi,

As I said before on this forum, I'm sending my copy of Nylon Angel around to a number of people in my Dutch Bookclub. The book is with it''s first reader now, so there aren't any reviews yet, but I wanted to give the URL of the Nylon Angel thread in the Ducth Bookclub forum: www.ff-leesclub.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1121

I've made an english thread, so everybody is going to try to write their opinions in english. This thread is open for guests, so you can look at it and even post without registering. Maybe someone would like to say something about the book to the dutch readers? Just reading the comments is fine too. I'll post here if there are any comments. At this moment the book is just starting it's tour.

Thanks!

Well, the first opinions are posted. And I got the first order for book 2 and 3 in the bookstore. It's someone from my bookclub...:-)

I've almost finished Crash DeLuxe. I'm going to cry after finishing it. Waht will I do with my life after this???!

Hi Phedre,

thank you for alerting me to those. Glad some of your book club are enjoying Parrish.

I'm getting more hits to my website from the Netherlands than I am from the UK!

I think you'll enjoy my next series too. In the mean time, have yu read Kim Harrison? I'm reading her first book now which is quite a lot of fun.

And a second member of the dutch bookclub is going to order Code Noir and Crash Deluxe... ;D

Kim Harrison, Dead Witch Walking, read it, LOVE Jenks. It's funny you say this, because someone at the dutch bookclub asked me if it was anything like Kim Harrison, which I recommended to the club too. Your book, Nylon Angel is BB (Boomerang Book) 9, Kim Harrison is BB10, she's being send around too..:-)

Her second book is great too, The good, the bad and the undead.

A lot of the dutch readers (well, 3 so far) say they have problems with the fastpaced(-ness??) of the book. Everything is happening so fast. I just love that. The moment Parrish comes back from a fight or something like that, sits down or gets into the san, I'm like: "Get up, go somewhere, do something!" It's kind of addictive, I think!!!

edit: I don't even have to think about buying the next series. They're on automatic buy.

The next Dutch reader. She finished the book last week, and the book is travelling to the next in the list. So far so good. ;D

And I was next on the list (well, in fact I wasn't, but Egwene was kind enough to let me read it first – thanks again, Egwene!). Even though I was supposed to be very busy with a lot of "useful" things, I finished it in a few days. And book 2 and 3 are high on my wishlist.
As most of the others already said, the book is fast. This is good, but imho it also causes less character development, especially for the non-Parrish characters. The one thing that disappointed me most, was that the story is not really finished at the end of the book. Now I have to wait for book 2 before I know how it will end! Extremely sneaky of MdP!
