    Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
    When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

    Well, considering I only read it once; don't remember much if anything about it; and never had any inclination to re-read it, it must have been "so-so."

    Thus, 2 from me.

    3. It has Siberian Huskies, and he wrote his daughter in as a cool character (very sweet).
    It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
    A whole lot more than riches and muscle.

    The hands of the many must join as one.

    I gave it a 3. I didn't hate it, I didn't love it, I wouldn't read it again.
    A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.

    There's logic in nonsense.

    Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.

    I have a lot of affection for this one, because I love fairy tales, and this was his attempt at writing one. And yeah, awesome dragon trophy involved. So love. 5.

    Oh yes, the horse story. How could I forget that part? I feel even better about my number, then. This one just wasn't my cup of tea.
