This was a really good read but not quite a five, so it gets a 4.

I did not like this book. I hate reading books in dialect, and I found this totally uninteresting. Nice cover art though.

A perfect follow-up to TDT.TDT crossed together many genres of fiction and brought them all under the umbrella of horror, but the great antithetical genre of detecive fiction still lingered outside. That genre hinges on key assumptions directly opposite of horror: moral order (crime does not pay) and the dependablity of rationality.Very illuminating of the ideas behind the TDT ending.

I've never even heard of it, much less read it. I'll have to one day.

I guess it must be a 3. I read it about a year ago but don't hardly remember it at all.

I say a solid 4. I really liked the characters and the idea behind the book.

On the good side, at least it wasn't a waste of much time?:unsure:

Never read. I have the S/L edition, but I need a reader.

The Colorado Kid touched me inappropriately, then ran off giggling.
