She did an incredibly difficult thing there that other authors have tried and failed at -- she did the same story from two different perspectives, WITHOUT making it boring. She also gave a great depiction of the hotel where Lunacon is held.<br />DWJ's death had an impact on this household only Ginny Heinlein's death had, before hers. It devasted not only me, but the other family members.<br />And yet, she's gone, but her stories live on. May it be so with all of us.Sarah A.
