Works the other way around for me: the more I hear about his "bratty antics" the more I think I understand something about the "liveliness" of the plot and the stylistic qualities of the books which, I have to confess, I find thin.

Never mind. Hey, somebody I know has just been asked to review Nightmare Town and the Letters; I've confiscated the books but may have to lend them to him when he needs to read them. Maybe a few days from now.

Smugly,

Have a good weekend, everybody.
