I have just finished A Fine And Private Place, that was a great book really fascinating Peter B's insights into the human soul, ghost or alive and how we are. Some of it flew over my head although I tried to comprehend it all.
Like a fantasy novel who also desired to be a philosophy book, great. The book seemed to flow past aswell, seemed as light and floaty and free as a ghost. Quite a peculiar book but quite wonderful.
What I really loved was in this book there were 2 references, guess what...
'...like Unicorns and sad virgins...'
and
'There are no happy endings....because nothing ends.'
I am sure you know what they were used in at a later date.
Now reading William Nicholson's - Slaves of The Mastery
I have read the first book The Wind Singer and that books really was superb, very very original and amazingly fascinating in the imagery of the world that it provokes in your mind. Another wonderful book like Peter Beagle's.
So all in all I am impressed, chuffed and cheerful.
