Wow, what a concept --- I'd spend every penny I had if this was real life !!! Hmmmmm, it's been 2 or 3 years since I've read it, guess it's time for another fix. (Oh, why can't it be real ???) After my initial emotional reaction, a serious opinion: Seems I remember that the story and characters were just a little bit weak in a few places, but the concepts of the whole park and especially the real life role-playing more than made up for that. All in all, what I'd call a great book. Well worth the read (especially if you are into rpg's). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ * "the heart and mind united in a single, perfect sphere" - Rush * * * * arpa - brantley@vax1.acs.udel.edu * ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
