My favorite Bradbury is Dandelion Wine. Absolutely love that book.
Well for me it was enjoyable because I only became a recent attending member and therefore this is the only report I have received, no back issues....And how is it Gollum? Another page turner? To be honest, I thought the series lost its way in about Report 4 and now they're so overburdened, there seems to be very little development of plot in each Report. I'd like to see what happens in the end of the series, but the authors are just milking readers of their money and stringing it out.
It is about media obsession and how society is heading for a meltdown.
Question, Ian: "ripped off", or "retold"... the latter has always been pretty common in literature, and tended to be an author expecting the audience to know the original; they were simply presenting a contemporary version of an old story... to "rip off", to me, anyway, carries the connotation of trying to get one over on the readers. I've a bit of trouble seeing Silverberg do that, frankly... it's just not his style.
