Yep. probably something like that. He may have just read an article or story on the subject.

I had never heard of it before this book. It sounds good, other than the chicken stock, though I am not much of a soup person.

I completely agree. How boring is it if we all have the same opinion and point-of-view? I find good, bad and in-between with most authors works.

I just finished this one last night. The way the reader is made to feel very much in Billy's thoughts and mind creeped me right out. His reactions to the whole thing were stunning!

No word of a lie though, I had a mistake phone call from an unknown number on my mobile while I was reading it... It was 2am. THAT freaked me out!
