Hm. When the only person who writes a review for a book is the author herself, and that review is one of the most painful things you've ever read, you can bet the book won't be that great. But that's just my opinion.

Gah! Try "thou art." If the book if anything like the review (which is undoubtedly is), then it's probably nigh unreadable.

If the book is anything like the cover, it will strip your eyes from your head. As for me, I'm glad I can touch-type.

That looks like possibly the worst thing ever published.
It reminds me of Communion, where he expects you to believe that it all happened to him, even though it is sold in teh fiction stand.....and is completely unbelievable.

I almost want someone to buy it just to see if it has any sort of Eye of Argon-esque potential.

I get the distinct feeling that someone's replied to me in this thread, though there is no longer any way for me to see.

LOL. The cover art is kind of weird. Is that a bear in the upper corner? You know what? Next time I'm at Borders I'm going to see if I can find it just so I can find anything about it.

No idea about the book, Carl, but I just wanted to say that I dig your name. It's been a few years since the last time I read The Neverending Story; it may be time to pick it up again.

Do you have a connection with this author - or are you the author yourself trying to get feedback without admitting who you are?
It seems strange that you have come here with so few posts, started a thread about an obscure book none of us is likely to have heard of, and keep posting comments to keep us talking, like bringing up the price thing.
The other possibility as I see it is you are working on a paper about why people don't buy books that are self-published and you're fishing for comments from us to use in the paper.
Now, if I'm off base, I apologize, but this does seem curious.

LOL. What a tangled web we weave! No. I really am not the author and I don't know her. Besides, it was published over ten years ago. Why would I wait until now? I thought that since this forum is based on an author, I thought I'd find well-read people and that maybe someone had read it (no such luck ).
And as for the length of the thread I actually thought I'd get only one or two replies. I'm not writing a paper. Posts: 46 | Registered: Apr 2005

Well, I WAS going to be the Hatrack guinea pig and request it from my library system... but out of almost a hundred towns in the network, not a single library owns a copy of this one. They've got a couple copies of "Tale of the Dark Crystal" by Donna Bass, which from the description is either a novelization of the movie or the source that Henson worked from.
