Re: "Is Leiber a superficial writer?"
For those of you who enjoyed Leiber's Fahfrd & the Grey Mouser,
and would like to try some of his deeper work, or for those of
you who were able to finish Phillip K Dick's Transmigration of
Timothy Archer, or for anyone who lives near San Francisco
and reads, I recommend "Our Lady of Darkness" by Fritz Leiber.

Re: Sabberhagen's Book of Swords
I got the three-in-one book club edition, but after 50 pages I
decided to shear the binding and use it at the commode.

Re: Downbelow Station
I could not finish this one either - I thought the characters
and scenes were very flat.  The political intrigue was slightly
interesting, but not enough to carry the weight of the rest.

Re: "Chuck gives Trumps of Doom two *'s"
I was also disappointed by Trumps of Doom, but liked it a bit more
than you did apparently.  For a long time I have wondered how an
Amberite would go about ordering a pizza & etc.  The walk with
Julia, and hellrides in general were also well done.

<WARNING: SPOILER SPECULATIONS>

I think that the blue cavern in which Merlin is imprisoned is
in fact the gemstone of a ring.  Also Corwin is not dead, but
is masquerading as Bill, who knows far too much.
