   That makes me even more surprised I didn't like it -- I'm a huge fan of   
   "atmosphere" as a driver (in books and movies etc too), but what I saw   
   in YKK seemed just kind of tacky.   
      
   [It's one reason 20th Cent Boys is sooo cool: it manages to excel in   
   just about every category except perhaps character art -- plot,   
   atmosphere (it practially drips off the pages...), characterization,   
   scenery...]
