I wanted to like this book more than I did - I interviewed Peter for SFFWorld, I like the guy quite a bit but the book as a bit of a let down.RobBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04014122096561992311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711195880526876235.post-79179852534978358362011-06-15T18:53:53.494-04:002011-06-15T18:53:53.494-04:00ha, ha. yeah, I was mostly just joking.

Most people that can't tell use them interchangably but it was all than here. <br />Anyways, all in fun. I like bloggers that don't get mad when somebody tells them something so totally irrelevant and off the wall and just say thanks. :) <br />Hope you keep up the good work. Seems you'll get the then/than sooner than later, but then again, I could be wrong. LOL.

There is a reason I don't get paid for writing these reviews and this is despite the fact I do have someone give them a read before I go posting.Mad Hatter Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16020033648108721552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711195880526876235.post-59273678937516594982011-06-15T14:07:51.969-04:002011-06-15T14:07:51.969-04:00great review except. nitpick.

I genuinely didn't go into The Unremembered expecting the best book of the year, but it has generally been the books that don't get hyped the most I end up liking the best. A couple like that this year are <b>God's War, The Desert of Souls</b>, or even <b>Among Thieves</b>. The last of which you barely heard a whisper about until it was released besides people deriding the cover. All great debuts.<br /><br />But than again I quite enjoyed <b>Robopocalypse</b>, which certainly falls in the hype category.Mad Hatter Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16020033648108721552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711195880526876235.post-71004428715196913232011-06-15T12:01:15.107-04:002011-06-15T12:01:15.107-04:00I agree with @TomLloyd - Songs of the Earth, while...I agree with @TomLloyd - Songs of the Earth, while not perfect, does seem to have received quite the drubbing by reviewers.
