I enjoy the idea of thrillers, but not actual thrillers. Sunhawk !nZQ2xl.g.6 Wed Jul 27 07:43:14 2011 No.1962700 [View]

I like the idea of plot-driven stories, lots of exciting cliffhangers, conspiracies, etc. the staples of the genre. But I haven't read many thrillers I've actually enjoyed. Not so much because they're trashy and McNovels, more because they just aren't very well done. Not enough plot twists, bad storytelling, etc. We need someone who can write a good, mid-brow thriller.

Does Conversation In the Cathedral get better? Sunhawk !nZQ2xl.g.6 Sun Jul 10 14:30:01 2011 No.1916453 [View]

I've been looking forward to reading this for a month, and I'm 200 pages in and kind of bored. The prose isn't strong at all, the characters are average, and there isn't much plot yet. Does it get better?

Seriously, Llosa is all over the place for quality. Feast was Great Tier, whereas The Green House was Neckbeard Tier.
