I just wanted to follow up and say that after posting the original message, I went ahead and finished Reborn and moved to Reprisal. My opinion is changing - I really like Reprisal so far. I have to think that my feelings toward Reborn were a direct correlation to the environs in which I was at the time.
I just hated the idea of not liking a FPW book... His ability to describe characters and force you to care about them is uncanny.... better than any other author I can think of at the moment...
NOW GET ALONG....
Welcome to every ordaniray family out there! (Unfourtunatly I didn't come frome one
) All I can say is, You havn't read nada yet! Enjoy!

From Dictionary.com

Hmmmmmm...OK!

Don't sweat it, you're cool, you didn't start anything.
Glad you're liking Reprisal, by the way.

Why, CJ, look at that! You use dictionary.com. You should call yourself names.

ahh...touche`!
But is there any misconduct afoot? (had to lengthen the message, the last part is simply rhetorical.)

You tell me Tony...you're the one that called me a muckraker. I just gave a new member my opinion, and apparantly struck a nerve as some took offense, which just proves my original point...

Now CJ, no nerve was struck on this end. I take all insults/implications as a grain of salt. Now compliments on the other hand, the most vague and insignifficant I shoulder as a personal comment. Being trivial has it's perks.

Tony-
I wasn't referring to your nerve...I've got nothing but the utmost respect for you and 99% of the rest of the board members here...
