How to Tell an FPW/RJ Novel's Excellence - NewYorkjoe - 04-03-2005
1. You can't wait for the newest one to be published.
2. You try to read it slowly, to savor it, but you still reach the ending too soon.
3. You can't wait to turn the next page, to see what happens.
4. You try to guess the ending, but are still surprised when you read it.
5. You enjoy reading it the second time as much as the first.
6. The second time you read it, you pick up details and nuances you missed the first time.
7. You picture the main character (RJ) in your mind's eye
8. Sometimes when you picture RJ, he starts to look like you.
9. You imagine yourself in the same situations as RJ and what you would do.
10. You finish the lastest RJ novel, imagining how he's going to top it for the next!
Feel free to add more.

When it is still special the umpteenth time you have read it. (In my case, this even more applies to Healer and the other books of the LaNague Chronicles.

When you reach the point where, if your having a particulary bad day, and need something to cheer you up. You pick up one of the novels and skim through knowing exactly where the section you need to read is. (only me. LOL at least I think so.)
