The kids, and they were a select bunch, DID find the book a tiny bit tedious, but they enjoyed it and our discussions. I attributed the tiny bit of slog they had to go through in parts of the book NOT to the writer's style or research, but to the simple fact that to US, OLDER, this sort of thing fascinates. To a modern day kid, well, THEY ARE IMMORTAL, so there's not the same sort of titillation, horrific as it may be, with envisioning the world suddenly without US. Kim
