yup thats right

That last review was definitely the best, although I don't think Maerad is ANYTHING like Alanna. Those books are a decent read, but all the characters, and the whole storyline is so simple. Alanna has no depth- I love how deep and complex the story of Pellinor is!
The reader who said it was the most boring book of all time only said that because they didn't understand it, which makes it an unfair criticism, and I wouldn't put any stock in it.

well, that's my two cents!!

Just to let all you Alison fans know, she is alive and well at the moment in Los Angeles in the U.S. I spoke with her on the phone last night (I had hoped to travel down to see her this weekend, but the flight schedules are not cooperating, plus I had a conflict with a Borders reading). But we had a very nice chat anyway. She is as charming "by voice" as she is in her postings here (and in fact, to my very untrained ear, sounds more English than Australian).

She is having a nice time down in L.A., and has had a very positive response to her readings so far. With all the on-the-road traveling she's been doing this year, I think she's ready for a nice long break back in Australia...

Hiya, Tari. I have another shot at her - she's staying through the first week in December, and I might be able to swing a flight on 12/3 or so. If I do, then I can give you all a more complete report on our dear Alison - 'cause of course I'll keep buying her drinks until she starts telling me all the really good stories! :D

alisons away for awhile goddess and this is the wrong thread to be asking questions on.

Hello guys - I'm back! - sadly didn't catch up with the Radthorne, though we got to speak on the telephone (he sounds as nice as he sounds) - next time (I'm sure there will be a next time) - unless he decides to head here, of course - in which case, Kevin, you can buy me all those drinks you threaten me with...

I'll tour Melbourne when they ask me, Goddess - Penguin has promised to pull their fingers out for The Crow, so we'll see what happens. All I know is that I get asked o/s more often than in my home town. But it was ever thus...

I'll get onto the questions waiting tomorrow, it's late now. But good to see you all here!
