Brilliant. He really is one of our greatest writers.

Was wondering what you would make of this one.

I seem to be in a minority going by Amazon "reviews" but struggled with it. Soooo long (he needs a stronger editor!) and not much happening in places, the fantasy world stuff just didn't seem particularly imaginative to me; and his motivation re the dog I didn't find convincing really.

Was disappointed - but of course read to end as big fan of King too and he just has this propulsive addictive narrative power that probably extends to his shopping lists...

Yes I do agree with some of your criticisms Wyot but he is SOOO good.

Yes he is.

I think perhaps at times he should just take a breath, slow down a bit - but I suspect he isn't capable of this as the river of creativity runs full & swiftly with him...

Often Editors are needed even by the best.

Just admit it JK; you only like the book because there's Gogmagog.

You had a fail project with a band with the same name.

I am sure Wyot has the E.P in his Aladdin cave.

It's re-released as a massive metal medley this year GM - 12 minutes to stream at parties and it sounds like a smash.

It's an interesting concept JK, it still sounds corny to me. However the re-mastering sounds great. I first heard the E.P at some record store.

However, when a former poster was on here Andrew. When he got his first pay packet. He bought me 2 Briar LP's. He kept playing Crown Of Thorns when on shift on his MP3 player.

Whom I have never heard of prior. I have learnt from recently you backed them also JK.

During this period of the 1988 I was still listening to synth pop/rock it was getting a lot of airplay. So it will explain why Briar missed by me.

I did wear out a few copies of Underneath The Radar by Underworld in 1988.

Hair metal was already getting phased out and was getting tiresome to a lot of people. Winger were seen an embarrassment and ridiculed when they hit the scene.
