Really good mate. It's been re-issued ( I think that's the word, when more has been added).This looks good. Gonna check it out.
Found it "easier" to read after the BBC adaptationI have a copy but haven't read it yet. I watched the TV adaptation with Mark Rylance and loved it so will bump it to top of the reading list.

The author keeps referring to "he said" and it's always Cromwell
The series made that more obvious
The book is absolutely fantastic
Saving " bring up the bodies" for 2018
You should watch it, Monsieur Cromuel brilliantly played by Mark Rylance. A tour de forceI didn't watch the series because tv and films rarely do justice to a good book. Bring up the Bodies is equally fantastic.
I'm just reading this bit now. Very long, but great books.@anjelikaferrett you were right, the final chapters are very emotional !
Currently working my way through the discworld by Terry Pratchett. It's costing me a small fortune on my kindle but hey ho. Great Author great books.
I'm just reading this bit now. Very long, but great books.
Pratchett is my absolute favourite author, been reading his books for ~25 years, ever since I got The Light Fantastic as a teen. I think any books with The Watch in are a highlight for me, Vimes is a great character. And some of the latter ones, eg Going Postal, all involving Moist(?) were really good too. Plus Death, the Luggage, the Patrician is always great fun, and so on...

Been mentioned many times before, but just finished - The Passage Trilogy.
For those that haven't heard of the books - The human race is all but wiped out by a viral infection that kills 90% of the global population and turns nearly all the rest into a vampiric army.
Follows the tiny pocket of survivors, as they battle not only to survive, but to stop the human race from being wiped.
It's been done before, but never as well as this. ( the author is a Professor of English )
Think of a much more literate and involved version of Stephen Kings - The Stand.
It wanders a bit at times, but there's over 2000 pages, so it's only to be expected.
