I don't think I have come across such a low rating from you yet. <br /><br />Still, your analysis was handled with the same grace and style I've come to enjoy (*cough* live for *cough*). I know that gloriously expansive depth of which you speak. I seek it out in everything I read and am almost broken hearted when I can't find it because it has failed to be delivered. <br /><br />Sorry this one didn't submerge you in excitement and wonder, but thank you for the honest review.

I'm a character person, and if I can't get on board with the actions of the character, then I have a real hard time liking the story.
