Welcome Sweet Pea ...We might was well begin.I'm nine minutes early, but HI GUYS!!!!
Agreed-it opened with a bang and kept the same pace throughout...So how about that beginning, eh? We're immediately told Howie has killed his little brother with his own creation, and shot himself up soon after. I can imagine it: a guy with sweat on his brow writing his tale out as fast as he can, the room lit by a lone desk-lamp and the body of his well-meaning brother nearby.....

I agree, which is saying something--I was thoroughly impressed by Dolan'sI enjoyed this one a lot more than Dolan's Cadillac for some reason-so much story in so few pages!
Exactly. I was on the edge of my seat when Bobby tried flying his airplane and then there was that whole business with the bees and wasps. Bobby's comparing humans to wasps was quite apt, I thought.I really admire Uncle Stevie's ability to make his characters 'rounded'. He has the ability to make you feel as though you are right in the story as it is happening.
