I just read mr Schwartz's posting and I must say I couldn't agree more on
the redwall book. A couple of months ago I was strolling thru a bookstore
wondering if I needed something new to read. Suddenly something caught my
eye and it turned out to be a fert peeking out of a bush. Exercise One:
take leap and grab book before anyone else could (there was no one around,
but still, it pays to be sure ;-).
Exercise Two:(deep concentration) read back-cover while walking at a brisk
pace towards the counter....yadda yadda yadda...friendly mice...yadda yadda
yadda...evil ferret...yadda yadda yadda...nasty ferret...yadda yadda yadda!
Exercise Three: Try to replace the book on the shelf by pitching it 25 feet.
In other words: I read the back and swore never to read any redwall book
ever! I do not mind stereotyping as long as there's some kind of funny
truth in it. If the ferret in this book was a chaotic practical joker I
would not have minded -much-. Not all ferts are terribly cuddly and very
sweet (one of mine sure isn't, Cruella loves doing her Mrs. Pacman
immitation :-).
