The Autobiography of Joseph Stalin: A Novel Richard Lourie I'm doing a research paper on the human monster (I use this phrase because... everyone sees him as a cold-hearted mass-murderer. Which he was, inexcusably. But he was also a severely abused child raised by a raging alcoholic and a mother who had to pay the bills by whoring herself out to the small town of Georgia [Georgia in Russia] where everyone knew everyone and her son got the brunt of her promiscuity in the schoolyard. His childhood was horrible - he had a withered left arm, a scarred face from surviving small pox, it's argued in present day that he had shown signs of depression and schitzophrenia. He married a schitzophrenic who killed herself and drove him nuts in the process. He also loved his daughter to ****. There are human qualities to this man that everyone ignores. It'll be a hella offensive research paper.)... and I was supposed to be buying a book that was non-fiction, but when I saw this, I could not resist. The first line in it is, "Leon Trotsky is trying to kill me!" Which is, not only extremely comical, but extremely ironic given... we all know what happened in Mexico. |
Dear Ukraine, it's pretty insane how much food I just ate at this buffet party I just threw, considering how all y'all niggas is starving and shit. Well, hope you're well, SIKE. I hate you pussies.
One Love, Joseph Stalin. |

It's definitely my favourite series, but after Midnight Tides I think it has really dropped off in quality. I think he's suffering from churning out these massive tomes at such a pace. For starters the timeline is irreparably broken, which isn't something that I have a huge problem with, but it does show a lack of editing. Toll the Hounds got off to a great start, with the tension ratcheting up nicely. But a couple of lazy decisions near the end totally shattered the credibility and impact of the convergence, which should have been the most awesome thing ever. It's not even like he wrote himself into a hole, I have no idea why things had to turn out like. |

So far so great. Easily surpasses any comic book I've read so far (I've not read many mind you), and yes, that includes The Watchmen. |
