I'm also big on reluctant heroes, etc... <BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, I'm curious to see how/if Natch evolves in the subsequent books.Lou Andershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00694362734492222851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27426598.post-1161715875760619082006-10-24T14:51:00.000-04:002006-10-24T14:51:00.000-04:00Lou,Good comments on the review, which I wrote.

I'm probably still suffering from romanticism, which isn't to suggest that everyone should drink the cool-aid. On the other hand, the dot com ethos of the book runs counter to mine, so I'm no doubt reacting there. The main character's goal is to garner mind share, not to provide product, and though I get the validity of the business model...well, I'm a Yankee.<BR/><BR/>ErnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
