You're not likely to find much support for that opinion in       rec.arts.books.tolkien or alt.books.inklings, and probably not even in       alt.books.cs-lewis.              "Strange" is OK, but "wrong" is quite wrong, and it's true that it's well       written in parts, but those are _all_ the parts.       --       derek              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
