Thanks for your kind reply. Have the audio bk version. Am still not certain I’ll get the other 2 follow-on volumes. The character development, sociological/political/psychological type stuff is of interest. The violence is off-putting. Our world is violent enough. Not a great fan of paying to be exposed to more of it.

Do you mean "bloody novel" in the sense of "bloodydamn novel" as in damn good, or "bloody" as in lots of killing?

Let's not be too squeamish, there Jockalicious. Life is pain. Q teaches us that the world is an ugly place.

I'm so glad you like it. I was wondering if I was the only one with my weird taste.

Do you see the correlation between the book and this brave new world which Q has opened our eyes to?

Who are the Golds and who are the Reds? The Silvers, the Blues, Coppers, Obsidians?

Just a gorydamn simile for modern times, eh?
