The Lies of Locke Lamora - Scott Lynch

This was a first novel?  Wow.

Okay, actually I can tell in a few very minor places that this is a first novel (eg. "impossibly fast" gets used a fair bit, like two or three times in a single fight scene), but I loved this book.  It twists and turns; it amazes; it amuses; it scared the crap out of me once or twice.

Sadly, I see from Amazon that they're only expecting the next book in August 2007.  This should give me time to get my own copy of this book in preparation.

But it's going to be a movie, too!

Fun.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.
