I just finished the Infection so I'd probably say no for the review group, but outside of here you guys should check it out. I really liked it.

some reviews about the book in case you wonder

by **David Bird** » Tue Mar 08, 2011 10:38 pm

I’ve tried ranking the standing so far. I have given everyone’s choices from 7 to 1 points. That’s seven points for their first choice to one point for their last. Then I’ve added the points. So far The Dante Club is number one with 22 points and 1984 is in last place with only 11. This is nothing official, of course.

David Bird:

7 David Bird 1984
6 Alima: Packing For Mars
5 Jude Terror: The Long Goodbye
4 Alima: In Mozart’s Shadow
3 Allen: The Dante Club
2 Chubbles: The Infection
1 Contramundi: Age of Odin

Allen:

7 Allen: The Dante Club
6. Alima: In Mozart's Shadow

Sounds fancy enough to work for me, anyone have objections.

Cool, I'll look up summaries of each one and rank mine tomorrow (though I'm cool with reviewing whatever).

BTW, I am having some modem problems and so may not be able to log on the next couple of days. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon.

I really like it.

Ok guys - let's pick a book - we're nearing the halfway point of the month.

by **~Alima~** » Thu Mar 10, 2011 12:23 pm

I'll do The Dante club. Sounds like a winner.

by **David Bird** » Thu Mar 10, 2011 12:24 pm

The Dante Club seems the favoured one and I'm okay with it as the choice.

by **S.F. Jude Terror** » Thu Mar 10, 2011 12:33 pm

Sounds good to me. Looks like there's a Kindle version: http://www.amazon.com/Dante-Club-Novel- ... B000FBFMUW

The concept reminds me of some Neal Stephenson stuff.

Ok cool
Dante Club it is

Who's reading it yet? I'm on chapter 3 and having a hard time getting through the slew of characters thrown at me. I'm getting the hang of it slowly but surely.
