Reviews

[Des Lewis · Rating 4 out of 5]

In fact, the whole book works very well. It is a landmark read for me. There are many other strands I could pull together but I would be here all night. I sense it has never had the attention it deserves and an attention that would pay many dividends to those who give it attention.
Now, upon heading towards the end of this final section of the review, I begin to hear the static of the empty station. Perhaps one day you will need to re-tune that station. We shall meet there, perhaps.

CAVEAT: I have a story in this book.

The detailed review of this book posted elsewhere under my name is too long or impractical to post here.
Above is one of its observations at the time of the review.
