Still not great literature though. I would say that it is enjoyable for general horror fans, but NOT great. Star Wars fans should love it and if you like both Star Wars and Horror, prepare to shoot your load!
This post alone should net you some kind of Ultimate Nerd Award.

Well, I still feel that I'm a bit new. I've only been here about 6 months. I just post a lot because I have no life and this is they only other place I communicate on besides facebook and twitter.

Speaking of Mr. Hubbard, does anyone here fancy his books? I highly recommend Fear, Final Blackout and of course Battlefield Earth. The man was quite good at various fiction even though he was a nutter.

Actually, from personal (and traumatic) experience I can assure you that diuretics actually promote constipation.

I read in one of the forewords or somewhere here that Wizard and Glass is a lot of back story.
