Well, in the author bio it states he works in a bookstore in the children’s section, so it felt like he pulled together bits and pieces from the books that sold well, and put it in one place. It’s not that he was trying to pass it off as his own – it felt unintentional – but that I’d read something and think, “Lord of the Rings!” or “that had a Harry Potter feel to it” or even “Douglas Adams did that so much better in HHGttG.”

Until I realized that the “3″ was your rating I was curious about the Sam Enthoven book. Borrowing from classic British Sci-Fi/Fantasy books could be pulled off- sort of a collage vibe. Guess he tried to simply pass it off as his own rather than paying homage?

When we move into our place, I’ll gladly accept any gardening advice. Nothing too fancy–I just need the yard to look like adults live there, cause without some guidance we’ll be “that house that use to look nice before the new people moved in.”
