The main thing I'm looking for is a great book, a great story, well told that explores and exposes the human condition.
As I've now read (as above) the sample from Amazon I believe this is one of those books. In fact, based on what I've read, the reviews on Amazon and the reviews from you guys here, I'm expecting this book to receive some great acclaim and possibly awards. (Of course I've been wrong before..) It didn't take much more reading of the sample than to get that point that gave me a giggle to purchase the book.
I've since read the afterword "Too Little Too Late" I'm now totally engrossed in the novel and the story.
Thanks again! I'm really really looking forward to this one.

Nothing's wrong with controversy, in my opinion.
Actually, this thread is one of the two or three most CIVIL and COURTEOUS threads that I've started.
An excellent job from all contributors.
