I bought this book on a Sunday, and consumed it with frevor by Tuesday afternoon. It was superbly written and very sensual. You could almost hear the story through the paper.

There is an *unmistakeable* leap forward in quality of writing here -- I could have written the first book, but not this -- and an equally unmistakeable lapse in quality of editing. It's not grammar, as another review bemoans, but density of prose that makes for occasional discomfort. Your...
