Another book/DWJ/Ender's Game

[catherine at cator-manor.demon.co.uk]

Snap!  I read it last week.  I started reading DWJ on Neil's 
recommendation, and that was the first one I picked up.  Did you get 
the Mandrake reference?  I also read Fire and Hemlock which I think 
was for slightly older children than Howl's Moving Castle.  I was 
also in Forbidden Planet the other day and discovered that she's 
written some adult fantasy as well.  Haven't checked it out yet, but 
I will soon and report back.

BTW:  Thanks to whoever it was who mentioned Ender's Game in a recent 
post.  I had never heard of it, and went out and bought that and the 
sequel.  I did enjoy them.  The first seemed a bit Boy's Own but the 
second I loved - the themes and style reminded me of Sheri Tepper.
