My pleasure, indeed! In spite of the occasional grammatical errors and the some times less than stellar prose the book was a good read. I couldn't put it down until I'd reached the end, which speaks well for Simmons as a story-teller. Frankly, I seldom read anything that isn't flawed in some way, same as everything else in this world. Few people possess full command of language. I will say this, however: you and Hutch are exceptions. I suppose I should read more novels penned by British authors, the inventors of the English language, in the first place . . .

What astounds me is that writers such as Collins and Dickens wrote these marvelous works by hand, their brains serving as word processors. Sheer brilliance.
