The Amazon link...I wasn't using her as a yardstick. The Amazon link I provided features her review of the book, which doesn't hold back from spoilers. The review itself is, naturally, worthless.<BR/><BR/>I'm hoping to get to River of Gods next year. Looks like 2009 will be McDonald-tastic with Cyberabad Days definitely coming out and apparently the possibility of Dervish House (his SF book on Turkey) coming soon after, or perhaps early 2010.Adam Whiteheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383677312079611311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-51215362632767639392008-11-06T20:34:00.000+00:002008-11-06T20:34:00.000+00:00Nice review.

It's also incredible.<BR/><BR/>I couldn't agree more with your previous commentator about Harriet Klausner's reviews. She likes absolultely everything and is, therefore, not a yardstick to use at all.Slack Bladderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07245277053474510532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-60457243028045098792007-06-07T04:17:00.000+00:002007-06-07T04:17:00.000+00:00Good review. Now that I've finished Black Man this...Good review. Now that I've finished Black Man this is the next one on my list.<BR/><BR/>I have yet to figure out how Harriet Klausner can read 4 or 5 books a day, every day, and post reviews on them on Amazon.
