Casual Readers discussion

Anybody interested in a buddy read of this second book of The Strain trilogy? Would like to go on and start within the next day or so because I have a lot lined up for the end of the month and beginning of May.

I'm in. I just uploaded a copy Natasa gave me.

I am loaded up with books right now, too, but I am eager to get back into this trilogy.

Yes, she gave it to me also but I can't get it to load on my tablet. It is on my laptop, but won't show up in my Kindle app on my tablet. Argh! When you want to start Adam?

I just did. I had troible loading onto my reader, too, Cindy. I eventually discovered I needed to make space for it, so I deleted a few books I already read and it worked.

Thanks for putting up this threads Cindy:-) The Strain thread was getting a bit messed up, and I'm only reading one book with this name as well lol.

I'm up to page 180 so I'll stop reading until everyone catches up. The book is six months on from the end of the Strain though and things are getting desperate for our group now. I don't really like DR Goodweather but that might be a rollover from the last book.

Yep, I'm once again finding myself running behind. Reading three books right now and every one of them deal with zombies or vampires. Ahhh!

I am up to 20% which is around 60 pages, I guess. The scene I just read featured the busload of recently blinded kids. So far this one is moving at a fair clip.

I'm way behind you guys. I'm only at 6% but I don't have any appointments at all tomorrow. Should be able to read all day.

Sounds like my favourite kind of day Cindy:) I wish all my days could be like that:o)

Well I'm up to 20%. Hopefully, I get more read today.

I am at 45% and still enjoying the book. There is a lot of back story here for Setrakian, which is never dull.

You have that right Adam. Not dull at all.

The authors have done a great job with this story arc. It has to be a huge challenge to write a trilogy and not have it bog down in the middle book.

Is it hard to write a book with another person Adam? This book is set over two days as well, apart from the flash backs.

I'm up to p.225 (view spoiler)[ I found it so sad that Setrakian talks and sings to his wife's heart. He must of had such a lonely life after she was killed and I'm not sure if he met any more vampires after that either. (hide spoiler)]

I wouldn't say it is hard, really. The novel Evans and I are writing is the first experience I have had in the realm of being a coauthor. As it stands now, we are both enjoying it.

(view spoiler)[ those vamp blind kids are the scariest creatures ever <\spoiler> (hide spoiler)]

I think Hogan did most of the heavy lifting as far as the writing goes on this series. I'm pretty sure del Toro came up with the concept and detailed story notes that Hogan worked from.

Has anyone read any of Chuck Hogans other novel? I looked at them on his goodreads page but didn't go as far as wish listing any of them.

Chris those (view spoiler)[ those creepy 'feelers', you're right. They are so freaky. And the way they were made by looking into the eclipse- it just goes to show how long the Master planned for this. (hide spoiler)]

You're right, Gregor. I have not read any of Hogan's other books but I might check one out.
