Hi All-- I read everything MacDonald ever wrote up until that
hurricane one. Condominium??? Yes, that was it. 1985's
_Condominium_. I waded through that and read nothing by him
written afterwards but T. McGees.
I don't remember every single book, not by a long shot. But I
do remember that every book of his I read before Condo was
worth it. I remember that I liked all the ones you
mentioned.
Pretty much all he wrote until Condo was worth it, except
perhaps some of the early SF, which was mostly flat and
uninspired. _The Girl, The Gold Watch, and Everything_ was
his best SF, and that was much more successful as humor than
as SF. It's good that he switched to crime.
