And I'm so glad I did. (That whole anthology has been so much fun: I'm about 250 pages in, reading a story here, a story there, and really enjoying it.)Levi Stahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094919454842047688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19106928.post-27154383423636329072015-03-06T20:34:38.314-06:002015-03-06T20:34:38.314-06:00I, too, spend most of my free time reading.

I wasn't familiar with Kersh at all, until I read a story by him in The Big Lizard Book of Locked Room Mysteries. The intro mentioned Fowler's End, and that it appears on many lists as one of the best books of the 20th Century. <br /><br />Thanks for putting up this review. Oddly enough, I sought out a review as soon as I'd finished the sentence where you write, "A lot of readers reach the end of that passage..." -- but now I am quite determined to give it a fair read.Emmett Hoopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04543605638055297386noreply@blogger.com
