I took Neil up on his offer a couple weeks ago and have finally gotten around to reading "The Tor". I am not much on writing reviews, but I'm enjoying this one immensely. Jude, the main character, is not your typical hero. Underage, overweight, and babied, he discovers more in himself than he thought possible. Not finished with it yet (maybe tonight), but I'll be looking for more from this author.
