Scrooge

April 30, 2009 12:55 am It's been a loooong time since a book appealed to me so viscerally. I don't mind that little has been told about (the secret past of) the main character b/c the real story has been the local history of the decade-long strife that serves as the canvas of the series. Too smart a book to see sales so low. And here I thought everyone hailed books for being relevant (isn't that why O'Neill and Adams are still praised for 30 years later) ... yet, commercially it's touch and go. Frustrating.
