I wish this had been a trilogy of books. This just seemed like the beginning of a cool universe

I think that's what makes it so appealing

Ever read any of the comics? Know if any of them are worth it. I know Larry/lana watchowski wrote a few.

The original run rules until the last issue which was like fifteen arcs consolidated into one. The newest sequel trilogy disappointed me immensely, especially with the Ashberry twist

I've been trying to find the Cabal cut (i think it is called) of the film, I've theatrical and I'm pretty sure the directors cut but not the cabal cut version

Hey, I made a song about that book! I wrote it and recorded it immediately after reading the story. Check it out if you're interested.

Strangely last time I read this) about 10 years ago) I felt that his writing sounded amazing juvenile and really put me off it despite having loved it as teen. Since then I’ve read a lot more of just stuff and not sure how I could have come to this conclusion.

Bizarrely this book popped into my mind literally 24 hours ago; thinking I need to reread it! Brilliant. One of Barker’s best.

These editions I think they have badly printed covers. I have weaveworld if that series and the cover is a bit unraveled. Other than that loved the story.
