---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Roy, I bought it, read it, and recommended it, but that doesn't necessarily mean I thought every sentence was exquisite. I think I wasn't the only one to recommend it, and maybe not the first. Your response just goes to show that we're not all going to like the same thing. Regarding your quote from the book, it appears you gave only the first two sentences of a longer story. I suspect that from even some of the world's great literary masterpieces, two sentences taken out of context could sound rather lame. I tend to agree that the text is "over-embellished," as you say. I should send you a copy of my annual Christmas letter. I do this kind of embellishment, and every year people tell me they're waiting eagerly for the next issue. I'm sure there are those who can't stand it, but of course they don't tell me that. Regards, Clyde Hollinger Roy Ulrich wrote: > Someone on this list recommended this book.
