Books I've picked up but never finished and probably wont:The Zero Game, I may actually finish sometime just out of my own self curiosity. The Alienist. . .it was just to damn wordy/lenghty and I was wondering. . .when is this book getting started? Not saying its bad, that was just my op..

Now for the review, Unclean's by Richard Lee Byers, which is part of Wizard's 'Forgotten Realms' series. It's pretty much the definition of dark fantasy. It includes magic, (mentions) of flying horses, ghouls, demons, ghost, griffins, etc. you name it.
I'm not much of a serious fantasy person like some people, never have been, but I wont deny the appeal to it. I prefer the movies though. And its from Wizards of the Coast, so that should tell you something.
Besides being pretty much lost for a good portion of the book, I really did like this book. Seriously, I was like 'wtf is going on?!' but eventurally as I got a several chapter's in I figured it out and pretty much didn't put it down till I finished it. Like I said; I'm not a fantasy literature kind of person, but even so, if you don't care, really, what you read, like I do usually, this is one to pick up. Not necessarily to buy but all the same; read.
There was quite a character cast too, which often get's me confused and it did in this book. But after a while after the started focusing on some of the main character's, I get on track.
If I can find Book II, I'll pick it up and get reading it. :)
