Was disappointed in Star Island and I am usually a fan of his books. A little to far out in the not believable space.
I read way too much as well. Reading even more with the Kindle. I can barely tolerate reading a paperbook anymore. I am finally getting to reading The Help. Have had it for a long time and it finally is at the top of the list.

Just finished a couple of Vampire books by Guilleramo Del Torro (Director of Pan's Labyrinth) and Chuck Hogan. It is a trilogy and the first two are out and excellent. The first one is The Strain and the second is The Fall. These are not like any other vampire books I have read. The characters are memorable and fully fleshed out. The descriptions of the places events take place let you imagine exactly what it would look and feel like. Scary, scary books because of the way the vampires are created. You do not need to be a fan of this form of literature to enjoy them.

The Black Dagger Brotherhood books are also very good, but not as good as the Del Torro series.
