> UGH! Someone in that article/forum just compared Jasper to T*m H*lt!! The HORROR!!!

IIRC, the first time I tried explaining to someone about the Fforde books I used him as a comparison, but in my defence I'd like to explain the context. "Take the best bits from #author, H*&t and #author and you'll end up with Fforde."

Am I to be lynched?

We only hate T*m H*lt because he wrote a very unflattering review of Jasper's work. And managed to make himself sound like a blithering idiot in the process!

I looked for the article (or whatever) and couldn't find it. I got the impression it had been removed already.

Thank you, Swindonian, that worked. Nice to see positive comments about Jasper somewhere other than the fforum.
