I’m now on the 3rd book Finch, which is giving me some hope to pull out of the creaky 2nd book, which for me didn’t soar as it should have. Finch appears to be in the future of Ambergris with the ‘Grey Caps’ finally up top and back in charge. One wonders if Vandermeer will return to this city Ambergris in his near writing future. There is much more to see here I’d say. One would hope so.

Finished the 2nd Book Shriek an Afterword... I can’t recommend it, I was hoping to... Vandermeer needed an editor for this badly. The 1st book is good, but this second may sink the entire book! Rewrite is not a bad word. Onto Finch... the last book of this 3 books from the younger Vandermeer.

The book is better as it goes along and as Janice Shriek comes to the fore more than her brother Duncan. It’s difficult to dislike Vandermeer, unfortunately! Still in the game! For Jeff-O-Philes only.

I’m feeling unsure in a major way about Shriek the 2nd book of Ambergris I don’t like the formatting something I’ve never encountered before...

Things go well in VanderMeer’s startling Ambergris... His 3 books in one of the Strange and unique city of happenings Ambergris.

Just finished the first story of Ambergris... Dradin, in love... from VandeeMeer’s early work... over 800 pages of various stories and books...
