[QUOTE="jester47, post: 1392292, member: 2238"] That is a good point. But I think that is sort of an oversimplificatrion of my main criticism. I think it is simply that his word usage could be better. When I can read a book and find better ways of saying somthing than the author (at least in my own opoinion) it really puts me off. But I think you are right. If I say that, then it will make my review more understandable. I guess Gooey is ok, I just prefer it to be a dense sort of gooey. I like many, many characters and stories where its hard to keep track of who's doing what to who. And why, where and with what, (Take a look at my FR campaign binder some time!) but I did come to them with unrealistic (or maybe simply unprepared) expectations. That is sort of bad form on my part. Most people don't write as carefully as I would expect or want them to. If they did, nothing would get written. Ok, Kurt Vonnegut does, but I don't like his stories all that much... go figure. Aaron.
