The Noble Fool: The Hungering Saga. 2/10.

I might have given it a 1, but I didn't finish it. Here's a summary of the first fifth of the book:

Dude gets accosted by scary dude. Dude wakes up, nothing happens. Dude gets attacked, nothing happens. Dude wakes up in a hospital ward, nothing happens. Dude finds out he's been "chosen," exposition, nothing happens. Talk about training, nothing happens.

I tried to stick with it, hoping setup eventually gave way to something good, but no.

Other recent books:

The Academy: 6/10
The Anathema: 7/10

For the above, books of the Central series, take a shot every time there's a fair comparison to Harry Potter.

Mercury Falls: 10/10. Must read if you're a Doug Adams fan, or just like humour.
Mercury Rises: 9/10. A little bit of sequilitis, and a little less content than there could be, but almost as good as the first.
