MINOR NECRO-POST

Finally got round to reading The Originals last night - Oddgirl got me the (signed!) book for Christmas.

Blimey, it's good - it looks fantastic, it's very atmospheric. Great stuff.

It's one of the books on my wish list for the year.

How did you leave it so long till reading it, Odds? Definitely my book of last year (although it does depict my idealised lifestyle!).

Bought it and read it the day it came out. And I got Dave Gibbons to sign it too.

No. I still haven't played it yet (bought it about two months ago, and I still haven't opened the box)!

Anyone know if this going to come out in paperback? Looks great!

Don't think it's planned for paperback - but the production of the book is really lovely, and deserves a hardcover.

(And it's a fiver cheaper on amazon at the moment...if you're just waiting for the paperback to be cheap!)

Got a copy for a chrissy pressy and thought it was great, even though it was completely predictable and at times the dialogue felt wrong.

It is being published in paperback, but not until March or something.

I stand corrected.

But I'd recommend the hardback version anyway.

Ah, thats good news for me, probably won't be in the market for it till May.

I concur, Odd's. Much nicer in the hardback version.
