Sanderson always puts so much detail into the worlds and characters he writes about, so it's so easy to imagine them all in my head.

That CLOCKWORK ORANGE cover is pretty creepy. I've never even been able to force myself to read it.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually reading it right now. The story is just as intense and freaky as the cover - I can't do more than 20 pages at a time!
ReplyDeleteThe cover of Clockwork Orange is really creepy, I hate teeth on the covers!
