Yes.  I didn't like Clute's review of OBW, but this is a fine review
(although it might say too much to someone who hasn't finished RttW),
with some nice insights.  I finished RttW Saturday, and am so pleased
with it that, although I'm looking forwards to our discussion here, I
am also very happy to give the book a decent period of impressed
silence until a quorum have read it.
