Ok, i'm just popping back in on this one because people have interpreted my review of Monster Town as being negative, which would be fine if that was what I meant for them to do. This is a good book. It is not everything I would have had it be but I have ordered my signed limited edition copy at $65 +P&P and have happily paid that, in spite of already having a proof. That is the most I have ever paid for a book but about $35 +P&P. Does that put my comments into perspective a little? At that price I am inclined to be tougher on this book than on others, I was pulling out every little niggle, which regular readers will know I don't always do.I just wanted to say, in fairness folks, it's really good fun and delivers on entertainment. I am just being grumpy because I wanted them to write a longer novel, I like Enron and want him developed further and I want to spend more time in Monster Town. I want time to really explore the themes they started to move into, defining a monster, revenge, forgiveness, there were so many issues that this novella started to lead down that a novel could have really got into.
Just needed to straighten that up a bit, now go and re read the review with all that in mind, because y'know, what I wanted you all to take away from it was "this needs a novel! or a graphic novel! or both and it's own TV series!". K? Good.
