    <body><![CDATA[This was a really interesting read.  Very different from the first book, but strong in new ideas it brings.  I didn't care for the new characters at first but they really grew on me, perhaps that was the intent.  <br/><br/>The best parts were with Eddie and Jack Mort.  Odetta was interesting but just not as interesting, but the caricature of Detta was very interesting.  I see that some of the other reviewers missed the overt explanations of why she talked like she did.  Mr. King is not that naive.<br/><br/>Started on the Waste Lands, next review coming up.<br/><br/>]]></body>
