It actually surprised me quite a bit. I won’t say why, though, since you’re in the middle of it. It wasn’t what I was expecting at all. I thought it was very well written, too.

You are cheating though, You didn’t get Mandy’s permission for a Trilogy – my favourite is the fifth book in the increasingly innacurately named HH trilogy.

I would choose Robert Heinlein’s ‘Stranger in a Strange Land’ though because i can still listen to my HH2G LP records of the radio series (Original) and watch the DVD and pray that a decent TV channel re-runs the TV series every year or so to get my ‘fix’.

Stranger In a Strange Land – whilst being from my favourite genre – Science Fiction – has a ‘strangely’ familiar theme – anyone who reads it will never forget it! Heinlein is a master Author. I read my first book of his (Have Space Suit – Will Travel!) around age 12 and did not want to reach the end of it because i so loved reading it i did not want to not be reading the work, to no longer have the anticipation of what was to come next not in my life anymore – that takes real talent.
