I have not yet seen the movie, although I found the book very different from anything I've read in a while. Kept me interested, but I'm still not sure whether I really liked the story or not.

I loved this book! A friend of mine who had read both this and The Da Vinci Code suggested I read this first so I did. I don't often read thriller/mystery type books, but I think I may start now. Very fast pace and I had a hard time putting it down.

Great finish to a wonderful trilogy. I think it may have inspired me to read more historical fiction. History is fascinating to me, especially in the sense that we don't seem to learn very much from it.

I actually saw the movie before I read this book and found it to be good, but not great. Turns out the book is really no different and the movie is quite faithful, which I always like to see. I guess for me the reason that I didn't love the book is that I don't see any actual atonement in it. It was a little frustrating for sure. I also found that even though I knew what was coming, it took forever to get there in the book. It's slow to get going, but good once you get there. read review

I'm back!

4 years ago

I didn't realize how long it had been since I had logged into my account here, but with 62 new notifications, I guess that tells me it's been a while. I received one new book for Christmas and bought several others using gift cards so I'm excited to get reading again.

My cousin gave me a copy of "Atonement" for Christmas in 2007 and I am just now reading it. I had seen the movie just after getting the book and it was OK. I'm finding the book very difficult to get through now … view post

Paul Marlowe says:

Glad you liked Nightwalker, Shannon. There's a fourth book in that series due out next spring some time. Johansen also has a couple of fantasy short-story collections you might like: The Serpent Bride, and The Storyteller and Other Tales.

Great book! This was recommended to me by a co-worker's wife and what a fantastic recommendation. It was sometimes difficult to follow all the jumping around due to the time travelling, but it all made sense in the end. Very sad at times as well, but necessary to the story. A must read!

Absolutely romantic of course, but the description of the scenery and the Civil War were truly incredible to me as well. It really got me interested in reading more about the Civil War as in the North and South series by John Jakes. One of my favourite books ever!

My first novel for adults (my twentieth book, wow!) is now available for pre-order. It's set in the same world as the short story "The Storyteller" in the collection of the same name. I think the cover speaks for itself. Gods, demons, possession, heroes ...

And while I'm here, I'd like to announce that my own new book, the fourth in the Warlocks of Talverdin series, is now out. It's about a new generation of characters, so although it follows on from the first three novels, it can also be read as an adventure that stands on its own.

A really funny, suspense-filled story, about a Victorian teen whose love-interest is a werewolf, whose arch-enemy is a crazed war-criminal, and whose summer holiday is turning out to involve too many assassins. I admit Marlowe is a friend of mine, but I'd love this book even if I'd never met the man!
