kuoirad reviewed Dust by Hugh Howey

Hugh Howey: Dust (Paperback, 2014, Arrow Books)

Review of 'Dust' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Like I'm finding a lot recently, the ending sorta happens out of nowhere. Book was good, I just didn't like the ending.

I also found myself a little confused at a plot thread about some "religious fanatics" that seems to have been started then abandoned.

kuoirad reviewed Blackout by Mira Grant

Mira Grant: Blackout (Paperback, 2012, Orbit, ORBIT)

Review of 'Blackout' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Not as good as the first two, mainly because it has the same problem as I noted Under the Dome and Neal Stephenson's earlier books (Cryptonomicon, Snow Crash) had - it runs into a wall at full speed and then the book's over.

Would have been 5 stars except for the ending. Reminds me of Neal Stephenson - going great guns, awesome story, then it's all of a sudden over.
