I must get around to checking out the first book.<br /><br />As for books in my area, I doubt anyone will write about this little town. I do however, get happy when I see authors writing about my state. Makes me feel pride!Peephttp://www.attackofthebook.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-285552714359981402.post-18569670174406621312010-09-22T00:02:42.182-05:002010-09-22T00:02:42.182-05:00I haven't heard of this series, but I do find ...I haven't heard of this series, but I do find that often the first book in a series is the weakest, they really gather momentum as they go. I've had a few experiences with Aussie author's who've captured the spirit of WA, such as Tim Winton, Matthew Reilley and a few others that I can't call to mind just now.Danielle Zappavignahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10493099952285137131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-285552714359981402.post-46623230988613502762010-09-21T21:40:09.152-05:002010-09-21T21:40:09.152-05:00I like what you pointed out about "creating t...I like what you pointed out about "creating the place in your head". I think sometimes I'm a harsher critic of books set near where I live because I expect the details to be accurate. If it's a book set in a place I've never been - or even in a fictional place - I'm much more lenient with the author. But on the flip side, that's one reason I like The Dresden Files so much - Butcher really does capture the city well!lisa :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11429572773434109490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-285552714359981402.post-2064733021228166492010-09-21T18:49:06.183-05:002010-09-21T18:49:06.183-05:00I've heard of this series but have never reall...I've heard of this series but have never really looked into it! I'll have to now!<br /><br /><br />It's so strange that you ask that because I was just thinking about this the other day. I was reading Sleepless by Cyn Balog and it is set in the county that I'm in so I know alot of the places. Also, The Lovely Bones was set nearby as well. It's such a weird feeling to be knowing because most of the time you are creating the place in your head. Reading something like that, I already know what it looks like!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08905075906530067471noreply@blogger.com
