a retro look at "Legacies" - Bluesman Mike Lindner - 03-23-2011

I really hated it when his sister was killed, and his father. His brother was a real shit, and his "death" was a salvation for him, and Jack. I say "death" because we really don't know if he is dead! I just thought, when reading that story, that the device transported the user into the "otherness", where you would be eaten at once. That's just my take on that situation. Anyway, I stand by my eariler assessment, that the first few novels are MUCH more "punchy" than the last three!

"Roman-fleuve" was FPW's term, which is, as Mike says, French for river novel. You can look it up on Wikipedia.

Why do you ask? Since I am not a professional writer, then I have no right to my opinion? My sister once told me that since I had never given birth to a child, I had no right to an opinion on raising children. I really hate that mind-set.
