Two down, two to go

beelikejIt's been a rough week on the job; I got a new intern, fought with machines and had to juggle my own clients around because of other people's poor planning. *sighs* But I managed not to maim or kill anyone, so that's a plus I suppose. One more day until the weekend! \o/
I've been working on some bookreviews. I still haven't managed to finish the ones for the big books I read the past few weeks (This is All by Aidan Chambers and Arthur Japin's diary, which I already squeed about while I was in the middle of it) but hopefully I will be able to capture my awe in words this weekend.
In the meantime, here are three books I also recommend:
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation - Intern At Your Own Risk
I promised![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
artistic_sillie my point of view on the CSI Manga that I read after last weekend's poll about my bookpile. As expected I finished it in one reading day (back and forth on the bus to work, I have about 60-90 minutes every day). It succeeded my expectations on the artwork; what I had seen so far wasn't very impressive, but these drawings were fun! It helped that the artist used a more generic style and didn't try to make a failed photocopy of the characters. Grissom doesn't look exactly like the one we know from tv, but he is sophisticated beardy manga-dude. Nick is a basic broad-shouldered crew cut guy and Catherine is a Barby-doll with an attitude. I adored the short appearance of a very cheeky Greg in his labrat persona.
The story about a group of interns getting involved in a casefile is very simple and it didn't take me long to figure out 'who did it', which made it a little boring. But the inclusion of romance was charming and I enjoyed myself imagining additional scenarios for my favorite characters. There sure are a couple of fanfiction stories I would love to see in this format;)

thej2bee: Postcards From No Man's Land - Aidan Chambers Boy - James Hanley
I'm currently reading two books: Bill Bryson - Troublesome Words on the way to work, and Maarten 't Hart - Het Dovemansorendieet on the way back; neither can hold my attention for a returntrip;)
