delete this account pls Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Just picked this up, I'll make a start on it tonight. Unfortunately it seems the jacket description has a rather large spoiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delete this account pls Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Finished it a earlier, I really devoured it (boom tish). A real page turner. SPOILER: The Inferior I like that Stopmouth is the only POV. His perspective and way of thinking really is very alien, but the reader has no choice but to accept his ruthless and Darwinian outlook and it makes it all the nicer when he does display a bit of compassion. I admit I felt a bit warm and fuzzy when he spared the baby four-legger. Wallbreaker was also a great character, very complex, villainous and intriguing by turns. The aliens were all very ... alien. I found the Longtongues the creepiest because they sounded somewhat like giant spiders, and because of the whole "Mate with me, I'll give you pain!" conversation Stopmouth overhears. Yikes. I wonder if the next one will show us more than Stopmouth's world, maybe contain some POVs of Indirani's adventures on the Roof? Her people seem to be descended from western Asians - Indians, Sri Lankans or Pakistanis - if I'm not mistaken. the religious fanatics certainly sounded similar to Hindus, with their belief in reincarnation and their strict pacifism and refusal to eat flesh.

lessthanluke Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Just finished this book months after buying it. Realy enjoyed it and flew through it.

Teng Ai Hui Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Just finished the 25-page sample pdf in Peader's sig. It definitely deserves all of the high praise that it has received in this thread. Now I just need to find a copy of the full text. Is it available anywhere as an ebook? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid there's no e-book of this one, I'm afraid :( About the best suggestion I can make is to get the [url="http://www.amazon.com/Inferior-Peadar-OGuilin/dp/0385751451/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1207952600&sr=8-1"]American edition[/url] from Amazon.com (available in June), hoping that the current low rate of the dollar won't make it cost too much! Sorry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peadar Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 For anybody who is interested, the new UK paperback edition cover is available for viewing [url="http://www.frozenstories.com/inferior_paperback.gif"]here.[/url] It won't be hitting the shops until after the Summer, however.

Isis Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Just realised I didn't post anything in [b]this[/b] thread after I finished the book a while back, which was naughty of me. Let me say instead that Peadar is quite, quite lovely and should be rented out for all future BwB meets. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
