Comments on: Evil Ways http://www.bookgasm.com/reviews/mystery/evil-ways/ reading material to get excited about Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:08:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Tom http://www.bookgasm.com/reviews/mystery/evil-ways/comment-page-1/#comment-90242 Tom Tue, 01 Feb 2011 01:09:56 +0000 http://www.bookgasm.com/?p=6516#comment-90242 I'm the Tom from the earlier comment that was rubbed the wrong way by the Butcher comparison. Well, two years later, I've read both Evil Ways and Black Magic Woman. I have to say they were incredible books! I'd recommend them to anyone, whether they read urban fantasy or not. Very fun reads with great protagonists. I was looking at what Mr. Gustainis was up to, and it reminded me that I posted this comment a long time ago. I know that this probably won't be seen by many, but I thought I'd post a follow up since I wasn't very gracious when I first commented on this review. So, sorry Rod and Justin. Tom p.s. For Butcher fans, especially check out Evil Ways. Quincey and Libby stop by a certain bar in Chicago, looking for help from the best wizard listed in the Chicago phone book. :) I’m the Tom from the earlier comment that was rubbed the wrong way by the Butcher comparison.

Thanks for a great review! But -- me, better than Jim Butcher? No how, no way. Jim's my hero, and has been for years. He's been incredibly generous to me since the start of my career, and if I can ever, someday, be half the writer he is, I'll be one happy literary camper. Rod:

But — me, better than Jim Butcher? No how, no way. Jim’s my hero, and has been for years. He’s been incredibly generous to me since the start of my career, and if I can ever, someday, be half the writer he is, I’ll be one happy literary camper.

NEVER! I'll check out the series to see if you are blowing smoke, but I'm going in biased. I have a hard time believing this is so much better than Butcher's work. Better then Dresden? NEVER!

Glad I did. Of all the fantasy/horror detective books flooding the market right now this is by far the best stuff out there.
