Commentary As Books Carrion Comfort
THE PAST... Caught behind the lines of Hitler’s Final Solution, Saul Laski is one of the multitudes destined to die in the notorious Chelmno extermination camp. Until he rises to meet his fate and finds himself face to face with an evil far older, and far greater, than the Nazi’s themselves...THE PRESENT... Compelled by the encounter to survive at all costs, so begins a journey that for Saul will span decades and cross continents, plunging into the darkest corners of 20th century history to reveal a secret society of beings who may often exist behind the world's most horrible and violent events. Killing from a distance, and by darkly manipulative proxy, they are people with the psychic ability to 'use' humans: read their minds, subjugate them to their wills, experience through their senses, feed off their emotions, force them to acts of unspeakable aggression. Each year, three of the most powerful of this hidden order meet to discuss their ongoing campaign of induced bloodshed and deliberate destruction. But this reunion, something will go terribly wrong. Saul’s quest is about to reach its elusive object, drawing hunter and hunted alike into a struggle that will plumb the depths of mankind’s attraction to violence, and determine the future of the world itself...

One glance of the wear on the spine of my copy of Carrion Comfort would be enough to tell this is a must read. In fact, I would upload a picture of it but yet another of my friends is currently reading it. One of my friends read it three times and another wants it back again.It's a toss-up between this novel and Silence of the Lambs as my favorite novel of all time.It's huge, over 900 pages, and dates back from Nazi Germany to present day. In a nutshell, it's about a small group of people with
I always hesitate to say a book is overlong. I read because I like knowing the deepest thoughts and motivations of the characters who populate my fiction. Books are meant to be longer, more in-depth experiences. There are thousands of studies that have been done on chapter and novel length, but the truth of the matter is: a reader only notices page count when the writing and/or story sucks. I find myself questioning whether or not I think a book is going on too long, I ask: Was I ever bored for
my list of 3 best vampire novels of 20 century:richard matheson's I AM LEGEND is the first, of coursesk's 'salem's lot and this bookperhaps i can add "interview with the vampire" onto it as well, but it's not horror to me :)
This book! *covers eyes* oh my god! I don't know how to feel about it. Dan Simmons is such a great writer and his imagination scares me, like really, really bad! The stuff in this book was CRAZY! I couldn't believe what I was reading. Sometimes I didn't even want to know where this story was going. But despite the horrific plot, one thing that Simmons does really well is character building and backstory. Natalie and Saul are so fleshed out, they feel like real people and you are genuinely
I am so glad to be done with this one. It was a relief turning that last page. This is the third novel by Dan Simmons I have read , it is my least favorite. I read a bit of the forward of this one, it seems it was a struggle to get it published and he did not appreciate the editing (or attempted editing). For me, it could have lost about 250 pages. But that's me. While reading I was engaged in the story, I am not sure if I ever really came to care for any of the characters... no, didn't care to
CARRION COMFORT is just an incredible concept for a story (mind vampires) and how these characters interact and evolve throughout the book. A thrilling plot and intriguing locales keep the reader guessing until the end. BRAVO once again, Dan Simmons!!
