Mumsnet Talk

He's got a new one coming out soon The Lovers it's a charlie Parker one. I'm looking forward to it.

Are they the ones with Angel and <<struggles to remember other guy>> ??? or am I on totally wrong track?

If so, hurrah

I've only read The Book of Lost Things. Are his other things similar? I enjoyed it but found it disturbing..!

Didn't notice your link to his site

Me, I love his stuff. Angel and Louis are the pair you're thinking of.
Book of Lost Things was aimed at older children, his Charlie Parker books are an adult read. The touch of surreal is a common thread to both.

Angel and Louis. yes. LOVE them

hmmm. Charlie Parker stories (with Angel and Louis) are very dark. Surreal. disturbing.

But so well written

Well, in all fairness....

First one was rather crap. Meaning good story but poorly written. They got proggresively better. One of them wasn't so hot but the rest were great.

Didn't like Dark Angel as well as the rest of them. I thought he lost the balance between thriller and surreal/fantasy. Got it back though.

Agree - that was the one. rather crap. Last one was good though. Can't remember title now though. it's downstairs....

Need to re-read one of the books to decide whether it should be Angel or Louis I add to this thread

sorry...now I'm lowering the tone of your thread.

Agree Dark Angel wasn't quite up to par. Most of the rest are fab.

KnickKnack...you like your men tied down and unwilling?
Or just completely uninterested?

pmsl @ GC.

KK couldn't have missed the fact that Angel and Louis are a couple. Surely?

Louis is the tall, hot black guy. Angel is his Puerto Rican lover.

Ahh it was tall hot Louis...thanks for clearing that up. Obviously they are a loving couple, I wasn't planning on coming between them

no idea about the tied down/uninterested bit, I may possibly have an appalling memory!

oh sweet jesus I'm going to hide this thread now...I so did not phrase that right coming between them ???

you can hide it but everyone else will see it

Sigh

Do I
A) name change
b) flounce
c) get drunk and forget
d) turn your thread into some sort of horrible fighty bitchy thread and thus get it deleted?

relax.

Louis is hot.

Louis is hot. It's the bad boy thing....<BC goes off to drool> I love John Connolly. His stand alone novel 'Bad Men' was good, too. Very creepy.

I love John Connolly. His last one was The Reapers, and featured mainly Louis and Angel (yay).
