Wake me up
Jan. 23rd, 2006 09:37 pmI didn't get much ivy clearing done today. Partly because the anniversary day weather was just too damn nice. Well, nice while in the shade regarding it that is. The sun was really intense - I could feel the burn as soon as I stepped outside.
The cause wasn't helped by finishing my "just boring enough" book. The one that earlier wasn't interesting enough to stop me working, but good enough to not discard. The book in question was The Resurrectionists by Kim Wilkins. I blame the great debate at Continuum for thinking that it might be worth a read. It started really well with the characters and situation being set up quickly and engagingly. The horror situation was set up and an atmosphere created. And then it just meandered along without really getting anywhere. Well it did go somewhere I suppose - just very slowly. But it never actually stopped and the characters and situation continued to interest enough to keep it going. And then it stopped - just like that it was all resolved. Oh well - onto the next book.
