Really loving this now, restarted this morning

Lots of books to read, but very busy. Will restart Blinders Keepers at the weekend to give it my full attention

Slightly slow burner at first but things are picking up now.

The stories are improving again, and getting longer

Very funny, very partridge

There has been one sentence that has disagreed with me so far, out of half a book. Gripping, smart and has not lowered in quality at any point. The sentence in particular was a small descriptive mention of some trees.

Astonishingly good so far, gripping to the point that I have got no work done this morning since reading the prologue

some of these are painfully bad, had one really good one followed by a tale so poorly constructed I almost abandoned the whole collection

Story 4- 12.01pm. is it timequake or groundhog day? Seems to be begging for more pages

Third story- project mastodon. Spotting a theme, as this story is very much like terra nova. Not particularly good at first, though it gets better once things go wrong

Second story- these stones shall remember. Not a conventional time travel story by any means, similar to Doctor Who- Army of Ghosts but more Russian. Pretty good

First story- time out- quite good, similar to my favourite nose bleed time travel film Primer

So far a reasonably good mystery novel, with a few laughs. Not really expanding on the idea that lends it's name to the blurb and title

Nowhere near as funny as the excerpt I read in the Guardian, still quite amusing in plaves

So far so good

Started this, intro somewhat patronising

Quite disjointed so far

Taking it slowly as it is the only Vonnegut novel I have never read.
