Some are complete shit, some are great. All the books by Wendig are fuckin' terrible.

>Chains rattle as they lash the neck of Emperor Palpatine. Ropes follow suit—lassos looping around the statue’s middle. The mad cheers of the crowd as they pull, and pull, and pull. Disappointed groans as the stone fixture refuses to budge. But then someone whips the chains around the back ends of a couple of heavy-gauge speeders, and then engines warble and hum to life—the speeders gun it and again the crowd pulls—

>The sound like a giant bone breaking.

>A fracture appears at the base of the statue.

>More cheering. Yelling. And—

>Applause as it comes crashing down.

>The head of the statue snaps off, goes rolling and crashing into a fountain. Dark water splashes. The crowd laughs.

>And then: The whooping of klaxons. Red lights strobe. Three airspeeders swoop down from the traffic lanes above—Imperial police. Red-and- black helmets. The glow of their lights reflected back in their helmets.

>There comes no warning. No demand to stand down.

he thinks he's the modern day James Joyce with his gimmick writing style, but he fucking fails at it

>>8399178
Thanks. This seems more and more like a necessity. Couldn't he have just written about one guy?

>what is pastebin?

this article honestly contained much more content than i expected. it was obviously written to be scathing and provocative but it's not wholly inane.

I didn't find it really difficult, but I was more challenging than I expected.

>>8398843
you entirely missed the point of the novel

>>8398848
Explain?

>Doritos, light of my life, cheese on my fingers. My hunger, my munchies. Do-ree-toes: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Do. Ree. Tos. It was chips, plain chips, during lunch, weighing one-point-eight ounces in one hand. It was Nacho Cheese for snacks. It was Cool Ranch at school. It was Salsa Verde in the shopping line. But in my mouth it was always Doritos.

Why do you want to impose your frankly meaningless views on others?

Eat shit.

>>8398778
It isn't meaningless, tho.

im not gonna lie, most of my passwords are either "nyroc" or "coryn" from this series. i remember very little of it though, sadly. i remember i loved it up until they introduced those weird ass blue owls in book 13 or something.

>>8398770
>>8398776
I saw the movie.

How do the owls make the helmets and how do they put them on?

Is this series in any way connected to the books about that bat where the owls are the bad guys?

I haven't read the books, but I've heard that the plot in the movie strays very far from the book.

Passionate ?

Hitlerity?

>>8398739
No.

Think of something like a peasant boy who repeatedly escapes capture after trying to kill the king and usurp his throne dozens of times.

You can always go to your local library and find the answer there.

If you are attempting to read a translation, or are a westboo, I would not recommend it

Yes, I enjoyed it more than C&P, not by much but still, great book with a powerful message, at least for me it was.

>>8399975
remember, when it comes to translations don't listen to /lit/

>>8398680
I haven't read it, but Under The Volcano is supposed to be the quintessential drunk book.

>>8398687
Absolutely. It sent me on a ten year bender.

Racist, hated Jews, snarky, called the press a bunch of incompetent liars. And yet, he does it without the slightest concern that anyone might be offended. I think it's hilarious.

I don't know anything about it but my word of advice is to not end on supermarket or /r/books shit tier reads. Just check the sticky and go with anything from it (don't bother with fantasy and modern sci-fi, it's primitive).

Yeah you can generally trust stuff published by europa. Go down the starter kits and charts.

entertaining genre fiction of no literary merit.

He's not Conn Iggulden memery, but he's no Colleen McCullough either.

>>8398539
Every single book is exactly the same, but that's what you wind up wanting from him. Sharpe series goes down like a bag of popcorn.
