Instead I say: excellent review, my good man. I really do want to read that book.Fiendishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06427088675092430747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6496460488742488789.post-79439250619345725512008-08-26T22:34:00.000+01:002008-08-26T22:34:00.000+01:00Thanks guys. How kind you all are.<BR/><BR/>It's a fine book and I didn't mention how beautifully packaged it is - God I sound like an advert or something, but I'm not. My first delight after getting the book was how attractive a design it is.Ken Armstronghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07775956557261111127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6496460488742488789.post-15885150154876340422008-08-26T22:28:00.000+01:002008-08-26T22:28:00.000+01:00Great review, Ken. I have perused Jim's blog and have been waiting to get my hands on a copy. After reading the review, I will definitely possess a copy. Great work and keep them coming!Charles Sapphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11960564657540153831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6496460488742488789.post-14949491003656632872008-08-26T19:47:00.000+01:002008-08-26T19:47:00.000+01:00That, Ken, was a very well penned (keyboarded?) review. I have no doubt that Jim did a bang-up job and after reading your review I may have to put forth the extra effort into adding it to my reading list. Thanks for the link where we can get our hands on a copy. I suspect I will be fishing this post up out of the archives in the coming months.Brady Frosthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16926505633531944151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6496460488742488789.post-76600240693680507392008-08-26T18:34:00.000+01:002008-08-26T18:34:00.000+01:00Hi Ken, that was a " revealing" book review...just like "eureka'! lol...Now I really, really would like to buy Jim's book. <BR/><BR/>Is he " aloof" too as a "bystander" and a "silent witness", in his own book? I wonder?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing and cheers.Jena Islehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16609925272840089993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6496460488742488789.post-89515690053916220882008-08-26T14:54:00.000+01:002008-08-26T14:54:00.000+01:00<B>Rachel</B>, I hate talking about myself but I don't mind if other people do it as long as they say nice things.<BR/><BR/><B>Matthew</B>, <B>Dave</B> and <B>Cellobella</B>, yes, Ken almost makes <I>me</I> want to read the thing but you don't want to know how many times I've read it.<BR/><BR/>And, <B>Catherine</B>, that probably is why I've been struggling so much with what I'm working on right now. I can write in another's voice in short spurts but keeping it going in an extended text <I>is</I> proving a problem. Ken never cried though.

And brave (because Jim always says he doesn't like talking about himself...but he's getting over that... I think...).

Well done.<BR/><BR/>I should have got to you yesterday, mu apologies that I did not, this Kick Ass Blogging Long-listing/short-listing is taking longer than I anticipated. However, the point of all this is to ask if you would be prepared to accept the reward.

And you've pulled out something that I was aware of when reading it but didn't notice enough to be able to articulate - namely, that Jim's voice sounds loud and clear through the novel, and beneficially so.
