Miika’s Comments (group member since Feb 22, 2013)

Miika’s comments from the Fargoer discussion group group.

We are looking for a great review of Fargoer. By a great review we don't mean five stars accompanied with a text "This book is the best book in the world" (although we won't object to receiving that kind of review, if it is your honest opinion). Instead, we are looking for the best critical review of the book, which reflects both its strengths and weaknesses, judged by you as the reader.

The competition will be open until April 15th. After the competition ends, the winner will be chosen by a vote. The prize is a signed copy of the upcoming Collector's Edition of Fargoer, which is a hardcover that includes a previously unpublished Fargoer short story, Day of the Dead. The value of the book is approximately 20 dollars.

All reviews need to be posted in Amazon and Goodreads by the end of April 15th. Every reviewer will receive a free eBook copy of the Fargoer. Enter the competition by signing the form at our website (link below). If you already bought the book, you can still enter the competition.

The event is now officially open! This thread is dedicated to the release day discussion, and the Goodreads side of the discussion is meant to be a relaxed, more slow paced discussion area. Feel free to share your opinion and ask whatever comes to your mind, concerning the book of course :)

The big day is here! Our release event will begin in about seven hours, and we're really glad to see that so many people will attend.

The event also takes place in Twitter under the hashtag #Fargoer, and in Facebook. Welcome!

One day to go!

Thank you everyone for the preliminary questions you've sent us :) The deadline for the questions is tomorrow, so there's still time to return yours! It can be related to Fargoer, the author himself, or about Finland, so don't be shy to ask!

Glad to see so many people here already :)

Here you can discuss the book in depth, whether it's character, scenes, inspirations or just something that involves a specific event or thing in the book.

Anything concerning the book, the author or the world of Fargoer goes. No spoilers of the book here :)

This thread is dedicated for discussion during the release event, which is held online March 3rd. Direct link to the Goodreads event:

This thread is for introductions :) The author himself shall also write to this thread soon. About me:

I'm 28 years old, living in Helsinki, Finland. For the last year or so I've dedicated most of the waking hours of my life to the Fargoer book project, although I did stray away for a moment while traveling in China for two months.

I'm a geek of sorts, but still enjoy many non-geeky activities, such as martial arts and gym. I love traveling and am a proud member of the CouchSurfing community.

When it comes to books, I love Sci-Fi and Fantasy, but also books with strong historical elements. I've also read a lot of horror, and Stephen King's shorts are one of my favorites.
