Now, you can't blame a book for balking over those types of things, now, can ya?
Everytime I hear something like this, I ask myself, have these author actually ever read books? Aside from "The neverending story", some glyphs in Tolkiens books and a handful of literary fiction like Sfoer, no book has anything like that. Why do they think this is a good idea? It just screams "amateur" to me.
