I like the fact that there are different opinions about it.  If everyone said "It's great! Buy it!" and you didn't like it, you'd really wonder about all those opinions.  You will need to browse through it to make up your mind on it.To all:  I appreciate your opinion and understand it.  And I appreciate that the trilogy is not for everyone.Game ON!Nyrfherdr</blockquote>
