The Hole truth, By
This review is from: The Redbreast (Mass Market Paperback)
I must concur with most of the other reviewers - a superb detective story and a charismatic new detective to rival, if not surpass, Kurt Wallender. Where Nesbo scores over Mankell is the tightly plotted story line and plausible psychological motivation despite the complicated and dramatic theme. There are plenty of ironic twists and sharp dialogue as the grumpy (what else) and intuitive Harry Hole follows up a hunch about a deadly sniping rifle smuggled into the country that leads him via a trail of dead bodies to an amazing serial killer and a deadly vengeance whose origins date back to WW2 on the Eastern Front. There is a fair bit of scene switching from the trenches to the modern setting but the killer's identity is fairly well hidden. The reader also gets a fascinating insight into the Norwegian political conscience about their divided loyalty during the war. The detection is a tantalising chase and the action is compelling right to the end. Well written and translated and nesbo...

A Painful Past, By
This review is from: The Redbreast (Paperback)
This is an utterly fantastic book. Two narrative strands, one historic and one contemporary, are intertwined, leaving the reader intrigued as to exactly what the connection will turn out to be.The historic strand addresses issues which must be painful to many Norwegians; specifically the involvement that some of them had in supporting the Nazis to the extent of fighting alongside them on the Russian front. The writing in this novel is absolutely superb. There is one sequence in particular where Nesbo absolutely captivates the reader and enables him to feel the pain experienced by his central character, Harry Hole. This starts with a chapter which flits between events which are happening simultaneously, much like jump cuts in certain films. This is followed by a series of chapters consisting simply of telephone messages left by Harry. These communicate very effectively all of the pain, anguish and guilt he feels at this point lifting this novel above the run of... Read more

A Rattling Good Thriller, By
This review is from: The Redbreast (Paperback)
You must have noticed the marketing drive behind Jo Nesbo by now! Posters popping up everywhere and if you are anything like me you may stop and think - too much hype? Well, I am pleased to say that having just finished The Redbreast, this is a good police thriller, with a sympathetic leading man in Harry Hole, and a dense structure that will keep your heart paced right to the very end. In places the Norwegian history and the dark tales of World War II may seem a little confusing but stick with it, Nesbo wants it to be...For those like me who are new to the series and get hoplessly lost as to the order of the novels here it is 2000 - Rødstrupe; English translation by Don Bartlett: The Redbreast (2006) 2002 - Sorgenfri; English translation by Don Bartlett: Nemesis (2008) 2003 - Marekors; English translation by Don Bartlett: The Devil's Star (2005) 2005 - Frelseren; English translation by Don Bartlett: The Redeemer (2009) 2007 - Snømannen;...

| Popular authors increase output, some doubling to two books a year, to meet insatiable ebook demand |
|
Pity the poor authors in the days of the ebook. Whereas popular authors such as Lisa Scottoline used to produce one book a year, now they are writing two; while others such as Lee Child are churning out short stories in between novels in an attempt to satisfy their fans' demands for more output, lest the fans get bored waiting for the next work and go off and find a new favorite. Meanwhile, James Patterson is producing a dozen or more books each year, about half of which are co-written.
All this at the same time as the internet has changed readers' expectations that they'll be able to hear personally from their favorite authors via blogs, Twitter and Facebook updates. Would reclusive authors such as J.D. Salinger and Harper Lee be able to gain traction in today's market? Many publishers say no - that what once would have created an aura of intrigue around an author, is not a viable option in the age of interconnectivity. |

| Pushing back against 'Showrooming', Target will no longer stock Kindles |
|
Target plans to stop selling Amazon Kindle e-readers and tablets, and has already removed the products from its website.
"This is evidence that Target is getting more serious about Amazon as an enemy rather than a partner," said analyst Matt Nemer of Wells Fargo. "That's probably something Target now regrets. It put them behind in the world of multi-channel retail and let a serious competitor learn a lot about their business." The New York Times reported that as retailers like Target address the challenge of "showrooming," carrying Amazon's Kindle is, as Michael Norris of Simba Information put it, "like Starbucks selling Dunkin' Donuts gift certificates." Showrooming is the term used to describe a shopper who visits a store to check out a product but then purchases the product online from a different retailer - booksellers report that they often see customers buying online while still standing in their store holding the book they are purchasing elsewhere! |

| Tor publisher announces all ebooks will be DRM free by July - enabling books to be transferred between devices |
|
Tom Doherty Associates - comprising the Tor, Forge, Orb, Starscape, and Tor Teen imprints - has announced that their entire list of ebooks will be available DRM-free "by early July." In a separate, following notice, Tor UK said that it will do the same. Digital rights management (DRM) is the term used to describe any technology that limits the use of digital content on devices after sale.
President and publisher Tom Doherty writes: "Our authors and readers have been asking for this for a long time. They're a technically sophisticated bunch, and DRM is a constant annoyance to them. It prevents them from using legitimately-purchased e-books in perfectly legal ways, like moving them from one kind of e-reader to another." The company says that as part of the move, they "expect to begin selling titles through retailers that sell only DRM-free books." Forsaking DRM, and/or experimenting with "lighter" DRM schemes that allow more customer freedom, has been under discussion at a number of houses recently, intensified in the wake of the agency pricing lawsuits and settlements. Tor/Forge are the first "Big Six" imprints to make this move, though Pottermore's recent release of DRM-free Harry Potter ebooks (watermarked in some versions; still encrypted if purchased for the Kindle or Nook platforms) remains the most prominent. The Tor move raises the likelihood that other big publishers will head in the same direction, and also increases the chance that they may do so by division or imprint rather than companywide. |

| 'Three Cups of Tea' author, Greg Mortenson, and publisher seek dismissal of class action suit |
|
At a federal court hearing this week, author Greg Mortenson and his publisher sought dismissal of a lawsuit that "aims to obtain class-action relief for book-buyers allegedly defrauded by purported fabrications" in Three Cups of Tea and Stones into Schools.
According to the NY Times, the class-action case "is potentially crucial for book publishers, the defendants argue, because if it succeeds - which is by no means certain - it could mean that publishers would be liable to defend lawsuits and reimburse readers every time a memoir turned out to have an inflated recollection of events." Attorneys for Penguin Group, which published Three Cups of Tea in 2006, contended that "if a publisher were required to guarantee or ensure the truth and accuracy of everything an author says, the costs of publishing books would be prohibitive." |

Apple wants to go to trial to defend itself against U.S. government allegations of colluding with publishers to fix e-book prices, Apple lawyer Daniel Floyd told U.S. District Judge Denise Cote yesterday. Reuters reported that publishers Macmillan and Penguin "took a similar stance in the first hearing in Manhattan federal court since the anti-trust division of the Department of Justice last week accused Apple and five publishers of colluding to break up Amazon.com's low-cost dominance of the digital book market."
