Dude. Did she just break some kind of record?

Well, it at least looks like SOMEBODY read it. Some of her reviews are cut-n-paste from the back covers.

Does one have to read all the books in order to read this last one? I have the first two but damned if I know where they are. This is one of the problems of having too many books.

Wow
and Yay! I owe you a review. I was one of the lucky ones to get an advance copy, I've held off on bragging until I was sure I'd finish it in time.

About 1/2 way and I'm loving it!

Having read all four in the series, I would highly, highly recommend reading them in order.

OTOH, [livejournal.com profile] chris_gerrib had only read CI prior to reading ENDGAME, and he thought it could stand alone.

You get more out of any series when you read it in order. But I started the Vorkosigan books with MIRROR DANCE, and the Heris Serrano books with WINNING COLORS, and did OK.

I think it's been mathematically demonstrated that she does not, nay cannot for her to have reviewed so many books.

Ye gods....

Does she review at B&N too!?!

If she doesn't simply change a few lines, she's nuts. I will say that a good friend can finish a 100,000 word book in under two hours. She reads ALL the SF and Fantasy, adult and YA. And some mystery. No literary SF or F. But she has chronic illness and doesn't do a lot else.

How does HK make a living?

Cool! Glad to know you're liking it so far.

You can read them in any order. "Endgame" does build on "Contact Imminent" but there's enough backfill to follow.

I believe she makes a living by reviewing books, at this point. She used to be a columnist for a couple papers, though, and I can't actually find anything that says she's *not* anymore.

She has for years--she reviewed RULES in 2000.

Thanks! I knew I was missing #3 but had already told myself I musn't go to amazon.com for at least a month. Then again, I can wait and then go through all 4 later with no guilt. LOL
