I thought it would be a good idea to make a thread for anyone to post reviews of Black Library books, because I pretty much only read BL books I will be using this thread more than once at least. Well I just finished Blood Bowl by Matt Forbeck blacklibrary.com/product.asp?prod=60100981001&type=BookMy Review: The harsh, violent, and surprisingly comical tail that Mr. Forbeck weaves was pleasantly entertaining. It is about a Dunk Hoffnung who has dreams of being an adventurer, slaying dragons and the whole shebang, but unfortunately adventuring just dose not pay what it use to so He must turn to the violent and bloody sport of Blood Bowl. Mr. Forbeck dose a nice job of building his characters and verbally painting there surroundings. I must admit that when I first picked up this book I was a little skeptical but after starting it I did not put it down until I finished. The only major problem I had with Mr. Forbecks writing is that there where some times when it seemed that he was a little shy of showing the true violence that the setting of the story inspires. During the more intense science it read like a violent movie that has been edited for TV, if you can understand that. I give the book 4 bloody Blood Bowl cleats out of 5

The Blood Angel books, Deus Encarmine and Deus Saginius, are my favourite BL books. Some of the BL books I have read are not good at all, but these books was just awesome. Reccomended to everyone that's interested in 40K and praticulary Space Marines.
