(**** itty bitty teeny weenie spoiler warning ****)
WOW!

I just read To Reign in Hell (by S. Brust) and it is a rreally grreat
book. To be quite honest, I didn't think it was as good as Brinn's stuff
(sorry SZKB), but it is well worth the paper it is printed on and much
more! I really like the fact that it is only a novel - I like series,
but I like novels too, and there are too damned few of those around! The
characters are great, and the book left me wishing I was a little more
familiar with the biblical account of this stuff. In addition, I relly
like Brust's writing. It never gets in the way, and there is some great
humor. I particularly liked the first sentence of the book. I must have
read it over four or five times before I turned the page. I liked it
enough to go out and buy Jehereg (spelling?), which is waiting on my "to
read" shelf.

I am left with but one small question: does anyone have any idea why
Beelzebub speaks in Medieval English?

PS: Here is another question unrelated to the general topic. Being
unsure where to ask, I will ask the kind-hearted SFLovers. What in blue
blazes does :-) mean??
