You were very gracious when I accidentally got some of my evil on your shirtsleeve. Everybody, David's book Acacia got all kinds of mad press. If you like morally ambiguous epic fantasy -- that is to say, epics for adults -- then this sounds like the book for you. Not that I've read it yet. I just met David. And last week I had evil to do.

Everybody, David’s book Acacia got all kinds of mad press. If you like morally ambiguous epic fantasy — that is to say, epics for adults — then this sounds like the book for you. Not that I’ve read it yet. I just met David. And last week I had evil to do.

Honestly, since sitting beside you at the World Fantasy banquet is suspected that you were evil. I mean that in the best since of the word, of course. I'll look forward to reading the novel that proves it. ;) -David. ps- I did enjoy meeting you. Best of luck with your evil intentions. Daryl,

Man you ARE aiming to be Powerously Dangerful. I can see it now, Tom Cruise will be running around saying he is possessed by the Manic Pixie Dream Girl. Yeah four, just doing my part. I gave 3 away as gifts and so far I haven't gotten any back. Though maybe that was due to the lack of a return address on the package... Paul L. Ron Hubbard.

Part of the Plan is that people will discover the Plan, or what they THINK is the Plan, but that only draws them further into the clutches of the True Plan. Even this discussion of the False True Plan is part of the True Plan. Or is it? Regardless, if my calculations are correct, by the time 10,000 readers reach the triple-encrypted sex scene in Chapter 14, I will become not only powerfully dangerous, not only dangerously powerful, but I will enter that state of adverbial adjectiveness that L. Ron Hubbard and the Anti-Llamas of the Temple of Madness call Powerously Dangerful. Nuff said. --d Don’t try to out-DaVinci me, Paul.

Though more likely instead of powerfully dangerous, your mind control effect resulted in me already buying 4 copies of the book. I knew I should have skipped this book, if only I had waited for the "correct" review to come out first. I think for the rest of my life, I'm going to be "controlled" into buying all the copies of this book I see. Paul PS. If dangerous is one star and powerful is two stars, thank the Hellion you didn't get more stars.

Humanity, beware. Paul, I think the rating speaks to Aaron’s comment — the book may be awful, but it is also dangerous (one star) and powerful (deuce!). Humanity, beware.
