Up to chapter six and quite enjoying it. After finishing I think I will be pre-ordering Zero Point too.<br /><br />I wouldn't worry about the Amazon reviews Neal, they were likely just people disappointed about it not being another Polity book. Once I'm done reading I will write a review too, helping to keep it climbing probably. Although, I shall still be honest if I think it deserves 4 rather than 5 stars.<br /><br />Enjoying your latest Neal, looking forward to more.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16769939608236272088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-51281245438232708382012-06-27T23:18:01.959+01:002012-06-27T23:18:01.959+01:00You have to watch out for those wines, the abv'...You have to watch out for those wines, the abv's have been creeping up, in some cases hitting 16/17%.<br /><br />Good luck with the treatment for your mom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-69885177558412609792012-06-26T19:54:03.330+01:002012-06-26T19:54:03.330+01:00Egypt at the best of times has teetered on the edg...Egypt at the best of times has teetered on the edge and now it can happily plunge into the abyss....i'm happy to watch.Thudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18320037763190473684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-24376545076197111872012-06-26T16:03:54.517+01:002012-06-26T16:03:54.517+01:00Egypt election plus money equals phoney results.
