AGREED!

Yes, there are people out there!


I wish the book had actually said something about the country on the otherside of hell

I disagree, that would've taken some realism out of it. It's pretty incredible how believable magic is depicted in the book. I LOVE the Raven King and Stephen Black. Whoo... :wub:

I dunno, maybe a bit more in a oot note here or there, that would have proved to have been more intresting than some of the otherfoot notes..........the gentleman with thistle down hair was so awsome.........The perfect villain

Yep! And the funny thing was I didn't really notice that he was evil up till the part where he said he liked pushing kids off cliffs. I loved the footnote about the talking statues, scaary.

edit: having more John Uskglass wouldn't hurt. He was only in the book for one page!

Grrrrrr, foot notes.
Especially the story of the girl and the evil person (I would add more detail, but its been ages since I read it, and Im not brave enough to try again), that foot note went on for about 6 pages. But it was good story though, even though I cant remember what took place.


As well as that the greatest part was the war with france. I laughed out loud it that part.



Ahhh good times

I liked the generous footnotes. What was so funny about the war? I laughed at the part where Stephen Black was trapped in a bog and trying in the most polite way possible to ask for help. Heh, cute.

Oh just the moving of citys so the maps dont have to be changed.


The necromancy wasnt so funny, but just plain intresting

I imagine the necromancy being the scariest part if it was ever made into a movie...which they are, apparently. I think Adrien Brody could so fill the part of Strange.

A MOVIE!!!!



Oh god yes.


But the foot notes?


What about the foot notes?

Exactly. They shouldn't make this into a movie, even though the I'm really tempted to say otherwise. Just think...all those wonderful characters on the big screen...nah, they shouldn't make this into a movie.

By the way, you should get ladies of grace adieu, it's a new book of short stories set in the world of JS&MN. It's really quite wonderful.

I dont know, people said Lord of The Rings should never be made into a movie and they couldnt be more wrong
