The fact is if you wait for the revisions you'll never go back and read the originals. It's fun for me to see how Wilson weaves the new material in with the old prose. Looking at it from the author's point of view it's quite a challenge.

I think Reprisal still holds up very well, in fact it's one of the most horrifying novels I've ever read, the product of a truly twisted imagination. Heh heh. Nightworld was good too, but it's much more apparent that it was written long before most of the Jack novels and would therefore greatly benefit from updating, so I still plan to read the revision when it is available.
Peter Wrote:I agree with everything said about Black Wind, especially as to why the hell Gerald hasn't read it! It really is a very good book.About the only change in Reprisal is the mention of cell phones, effectively asking why "R" doesn't use them to harrass Father Bill. (Just the question . . . no answer.)
I've read the original Reborn/Reprisal/Nightworld set and am sort of planning to just get the "new" Nightworld. Not sure yet if I will get the "new" Reborn and Reprisal.
But I expect I will....
