<span><font style="font-size:12px;"><strong><span style="font-size:15px;"></span></strong><strong>Tony Acero:</strong> George H. Sirois threw me right into <a class="kLink" style="text-decoration:underline;" href="http://www.411mania.com/movies/columns/152803#"><font style="color:#0000FF;font-family:Arial, Verdana;font-weight:400;font-size:12px;" color="#0000FF"><span class="kLink" style="color:#0000FF;font-family:Arial, Verdana;font-weight:400;font-size:12px;">the </span><span class="kLink" style="color:#0000FF;font-family:Arial, Verdana;font-weight:400;font-size:12px;">fray</span></font></a>, like a first time swimmer without a life jacket, and it was one of the most refreshing experiences. As I sat there floating in his large pool of characters and story, lacking the familiar floating devices of the Sci-Fi genre, I found myself gasping for breath in the beginning, flailing my arms like a mad man but in a fun way, then slowly gaining my composure and finally swimming steadily to the end where my only request was just a little bit more time with the characters. It was a beautiful lesson for me and I most definitely encourage you to jump in.<br /><br /><strong>Steve Gustafson:</strong> This book NEEDS to be read by more people. I hear people complain about the literary world and the lack of good reading. It's out there. You just have to look for it. Folks, it's right here!<br /><br /><span>http://www.411mania.com/movies/columns/152803</span><br /></font></span>
