The poem by Yeats? Its my favorite poem, but I don't think that's what you mean.

No, sorry. Novel that came out a year or so ago.

I saw this the other day and I thought of you, AnnLarimer.

D: Dear GOD!

Er, I mean, thanks very much!

I have it on my wishlist, but never think to buy it when I'm flush...

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

You never help me! *cries*

[taraljc.livejournal.com]

It's true. I just like to tease you.

I'm no help either. I have a copy of the book on my "to read" pile thanks to my last major 1/2 Price Books visit. It looks good.

Not that this is any help to you, but I just finished the Doctor Who novel "Stealer of Dreams" and thought that the writer took a perfectly good idea and managed to turn it into mediocrity. By the time I reached the end I didn't care about the not so surprising "surprise" twist.

Heh. The Martha books, I'm sorry to say, are much worse.

[nitasee.livejournal.com]

Now you tell me. Now that I have some of the Martha books as well. Dang.

Still more readable than any Trek that's come out in the last 20 years.

That's like being the tallest in a family of midgets, ya know.

You stinkin' Anti-Heightite!

I wish I could help you, but that book's been looking at me and I don't know whether to read it either. It looks pretty good, but then I think fairy tales for adults makes me want to claw my eyes out, and adults think it's good because they don't know any better.
