Extraordinary.

The odd thing is, is that I liked it. I think if I had understood it more deeply, then I wouldn't have liked it so much, but it would have made me think more. I surface read it, and so enjoyed it as a story ... I get the feeling that if I had have gone deeper I would have enjoyed less, but been provoked by something darker and more uncompromising.

My instinctive feeling, is that the philosophy it contains is too strongly your own, to allow that variety of interpretation you wanted?

Ah yes, the “train station.” Back to reality . . . I said back damn you! Back! Back! Back I say! “No . . . please . . . don’t! AAAHHHH!”~~~~~
Like someone said with the (Buzz), less would have been more. If you had instead of say, repeating the 'Ha ha' so much, used that less, and chopped instantly into something even darker/more extreme the effect may have been greater? More like tumbling down a dark stairwell (chop/chop/bang/bang), than rolling down a slope (Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha).

Christ, what do I know? My writing sucks. I'd love to read the book, where can I buy it, is it available in the UK?

"My instinctive feeling, is that the philosophy it contains is too strongly your own, to allow that variety of interpretation you wanted?"

As Oz suggested, I incorporated a number of philosophies, I think there'll be something for everyone.

"The odd thing is, is that I liked it. I think if I had understood it more deeply, then I wouldn't have liked it so much, but it would have made me think more. I surface read it, and so enjoyed it as a story ... I get the feeling that if I had have gone deeper I would have enjoyed less, but been provoked by something darker and more uncompromising. "

That's not odd at all, as that was part of my intention. The real challenge of writing this book was to make it enjoyable on a variety of levels (as stated earlier). I'm just glad you enjoyed, on whatever level.

The BUZZ is intended to do more than simply annoy, it does have a specific meaning and connotation. I leave it you to interpret what that it is. Like Oz said, maybe I over did a bit. But writers' have their own decisions to make, and I had many in this book. I'm sure some won't like the decisions I made in certain parts, but there have been many great books I've read that had parts which did not appeal to me. You can't please all of the people all of the time.

I've just been informed that the book will be available within three weeks. You should be able to get it online from anywhere in the world. You should be able to get a copy from Amazon or Chapters, but it will probably be cheaper to get it directly from www.authorhouse.com . Check the ads forum for more about the book.

Thanks Kaven, I appreciate your comments.

PS: Oz, I changed the free preview on my book's webpage at AuthorHouse, as you suggested.
