2016.Book18 - Something Coming Through (McAuley)

Just OK. Too much mystery.

2016.Book17 - Fellside (Carey)

Different from The Girl. Much slower, but some big pay-offs. Great stuff.

2016.Book17 - Life (Richards)

Fun stuff.

2016.Book16 - Heap House (Carey)

Good. Gormenghast-y and weird. I'll read the sequel

2016.Book15 - Prince of Fools (Lawrence)

Now that Abercrombie's doing Lawrence's thing, I guess Lawrence is doing Scott Lynch's. Or at least trying. Better than his earlier stuff, because it's much less grim.

2016.Book14 - Half a King (Abercrombie)

Pretty good. A bit mellower than his other stuff.

2016.Book13 - The Library at Mount Char (Hawkins)

Excellent. Absolutely incredible.

2016.Book12 - Smiler's Fair (Levene)

Just OK. Maybe I mis-remembered a recommendation

2016.Book11 - The Bone Clocks (Mitchell)

Reasonably entertaining.

2016.Book10 - Chasing the Scream (Hari)

Very good.

2016.Book9 - The Bone Clocks (Mitchell)

Pretty good.

2016.Book8 - Broken Monsters (Beukes)

Pretty good. Kind of standard King-style horror.

2016.Book7 - This Census-Taker (Mieville)

Kind of meh.

2016.Book6 - The Authoritarians (Altemeyer)

Very good.

2016.Book5 - The Rising (Tregillis)

Very good. Pretty much non-stop action, a lot better than The Mechanical.

2016.Book4 - The Map of Chaos (Palma)

Very good. Nice conclusion to the series.

2016.Book3 - The Cartel (Winslow)

Very good. Overwhelming violence.

2016.Book2 - Submission (Houellebecq)

Not much to this one.

2016.Book1 - The Mechanical (Tregillis)

Pretty good. Cool ideas. Maybe adding sex and violence for commercial reasons?

2015.Book54 - Started Early, Took my Dog (Atkinson)

Very good conclusion to Jackson Brodie series
