Use the sharp end of the shovel for digging.

Yes. Reflections tells you much about the ending.

Jml is correct. It's the start of his young adult series. It's been out for a while but it's kind of difficult to find. I heard "new Patterson book" and wondered, has it been three weeks already...

Your guess is correct. Both would be terrifying the same.

Sometimes complements are hidden within negativity. From Stewart, I will gladly accept the above quotes as complements. Yes.

For those interested in more discussion of the book, here's a link to the thread created before the January BOTM.

Palindrome Hannah was the best I was capable of writing at the time. I'm sure if I had given it a sixth or seventh draft, it would have been a much better novel, especially with some feedback/criticism. As a newbie, criticism is rarely available without spending money, or being slammed as an...

A few carry over. Eddie, for one. A couple of the kids. Julie.

Don't forget your dose of Poe.

I thought I would post some of the top 100, which proves this list is bogus. While I do enjoy reading Lord of the Rings, I wouldn't say it's better than Frankenstein or the I, Robot series. And what the hell is The Silmarillion doing up so high on the list at number 19? Lord of the Flies and War...

I'll have to steal that one. By the way, what was deleted from your post? You can PM if you want.

Stewart, thank you for the honest criticism. I don't think I found a thing to disagree with. It's difficult finding good help these days, especially having no name in the public market. Agents, and especially publishers, are hard nuts to crack. I wish I could spend more time writing.

If you figure in that I read number9dream after "Finding God" was finished (same goes [watched] for the movie K-pax), then the answer would be that of coincidence, which I somewhat do not believe in. It was Ghostwritten that got me writing. It is still one of my favorite novels.

Answer for "The Whiteness":

Without the technical "stuff" Michael Crichton wouldn't be Michael Crichton, and classics like Jurassic Park, Terminal Man, The Andromeda Strain, Eaters of the Dead, Sphere, Rising Sun, Airframe, etc. wouldn't exist (or would exist, but would read like Dan Brown novels).
