That may indeed be the case Larry Send a noteboard - 19/04/2010 09:27:36 PM
I actually enjoyed TGH a little more than I did EOTW. And I enjoyed them both more the second time I read them.

I have less problems with the prose than you do, though I suspect your education and career have something to do with that. I read these books purely for diversion at the end of the day, and without too critical an eye.





And sometimes, reading other takes can lead to someone reconsidering his/her stance on issues. Interesting to see how others did enjoy TGH in comparison to EotW. :D
