[HPFGU-OTChatter] William Nicholson

[Horst or Rebecca J. Bohner]

> Has anyone read any of William Nicholson's books?

I read THE WIND SINGER last year.  It's quite the book, to be sure.  I agree
with you that, like Pullman's stuff, it doesn't read like a children's book,
in spite of the protagonists being so young.  Although I like Nicholson a
good deal better than Pullman, or at least I like his attitude better
(although Pullman is the better stylist, and if it weren't for Pullman's
stuff-it-down-your-throat atheist rhetoric, I would find the latter's
universe and characters much more appealing on the whole than Nicholson's).

In any case, thanks for tipping me off about the second Nicholson book.  I
didn't know the sequel was out, and SLAVES OF THE MASTERY sounds like a
fascinating title.  I'll have to see if my library's got it, and put it on
order if they don't.
