I'm about 70% through the second Jurassic Park book and it's ok. People on /r/books seemed to think it was even better than the first, but it feels like a slog compared to the first. I'm looking forward to moving on to Stephen King's The Stand.

I am currently starting my first Joe Abercrombie book, The Blade Itself. I have heard it compared to A Song of Fire and Ice, in terms of grim dark fantasy, but it did not grip me as quickly. I feel more that it is totally its own thing and that comparison hurts it a bit.
