    Thanks Cat :) I'm pretty open-minded when it comes to GSR...since I am a Snickers gal so I think I can get past that and focus on the book as a whole. GSR is pretty popular so you can either hate it, love it or just have an open mind when it comes up.

    I've not started Cold Burn yet...need to do that :lol: It's been sitting here for like a week now.

    I was able to find 3 more of the books at a book store in the mall but i've discovered it's actually cheaper if you find them on EBAY. I'm all about cheap :lol:

    i'm actully a GCR gal. i've learnt to be open-minded when it comes to relationships, though. only coz most people are into GSR or nothing at all. however, recently i've just been so off shipping. :p perhaps it's coz i'm jealous of their relationships. :p

    you sound like me. i actually bought... urm i think it was Grave Matter quite a long time ago. haven't actually started reading it at all.

    As for myself, I have all seven CSI paperbacks. Max Allan Collins is a top notch writer. I am hesitating in buying the first CSI:NY book because of a review that I read which said that Kaminski had written it out of context, i.e., there is no connection with the program. I t is totally written out of context. I may buy the second one as they brought back Max Allan Collins into it. However, I never bought any of the graphic novels published by IDW . Are they any good? Also, is Donn Cortez as good as Max Allan Collins? Does he listen to the program before writing? Any advice is helpful. Oh , my ICQ number is 234-850-594. Feel free to contact me at any time if you have any questions about the game.

    I read a couple of the shorter graphic novels, "CSI: Thicker Than Blood" and "CSI Miami: Thou Shalt Not." The list price for each was $6.99, but Amazon had them for a little bit less. The stories were okay, but I went through them in about 15 minutes. I prefer to read the novels that last awhile.

    VManso, Max Allen Collins will be doing a New York graphic novel, "Bloody Murder," not a regular novel. Stuart M. Kaminsky has the second and third novels in the works.

    I just bought a graphic novel from Amazon.com. The revues that I read were mixed . One ssaid that it was poor while the other two liked it. Which is why I bought one for myself , just to see. However, I'm a Pocket Star man myself.
    Guess just I'll have to wait til number 8 comes to the US.How good a writer is Cortez compared to Collins? Does he watch CSI:Miami before writing his novels, thereby giving it context? O r does he write like like Kaminski?

    His first CSI: Miami book won't be out until approximately December 27. I haven't read any other books he has written, so I am not familiar with his work.

    If you want to pre-order "Killing Game" from Amazon.com , you can. That's what I did.

    Haven't found any in the bookstores or libraries here so will probably end up ordering them online.

    Stupid question but what exactly is a graphic novel? Is that graphic content not for the squeamish or a comic book or something else? That's a new one for me.

    A radio talk-show host once said, "The only stupid question is the one that is not asked." You sometimes need to ask questions to learn.

    As for your question, a graphic novel is a comic book that is usually printed on better quality paper, with a thicker stock of paper for a cover. And they usually costs much more than a regular monthly comic book.
