Edward just caught up with chapters 3 & 4. Tremendous stuff! Every bit as gripping as the first two, and wonderful writing for children ( & adults!) . Exciting and clear but without talking down in the least.. ( and so nicely written too - I love your Urizen corporation Christmas piece - it made me laugh out loud, as did the God-is-alive-in a-very-real-sense vicar) I like this better than the much hyped Pullman ( who seems like a good egg, which makes me feel guilty that I found his trilogy imaginative but more than somewhat rambling and formless - so many dei ex machinis *sort of just about* holding together the ultimately rather ricketty structure) Roll on your next chapter! michael PS The delicately fading images at the chapter beginnings are quite lovely...

This sorry region, the region over which Urizen rules, is the universe in which we live..." The children are kidnapped, then meet a visionary in a field of skylarks, and hear a new story about the creation of the world. They are pursued by baddies in black cars, who seem to be after the box. http://www.edwardpi cot.com/puzzlebo x/ - Edward Picot http://hyperex. co.uk - The Hyperliterature Exchange http://edwardpicot. com - personal website __._,_.___ Messages in this topic (1) Reply (via web post) | Start a new topic Messages | Files | Photos | Links | Database | Polls | Members | Calendar Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!
