Song for Arbonne SPOILERS of a sort

[dumbledore11214]

Carol responds:
I guess I got the idea that he was fat from "huge" (cf. Dudley) and
from his apparent self-indulgence, at least with regard to music.

Alla:

Ah. Okay. No, he is very tall and very proportionally built.

And heee, listening to the music would be the last reason why he came 
to Carnival that night.

Carol:
He
seems, from this one quoted passage, to be the kind of man who would
also take pleasure in food and wine (and possibly women--okay; I'm
leaping to unwarranted conclusions here).

Alla:

You mean endulging himself in pleasures of life basically? No, not 
really.

As to the women, I just say ( and this is known from the first pages, 
so it is not giving anything away honestly) that long time ago he had 
a wife, who was young and beatiful. But I have not noticed any other 
women with him in the novel, like ever. 

Carol:
<SNIP>
However, your point abuut appearances being deceiving is intriguing.
That much, as well as the sarcasm, certainly seems Snapelike.

Alla:

Yes, deceiving in more ways than one.

Carol:
You mentioned the author's last name (Kay), but I don't think you gave
his(?) full name (or, if you did, I missed it).

Alla:

Guy Gavriel Kay " A Song for Arbonne"


Carol, hoping that Alla will post a bit more about this book without
giving anything away.

Alla:

Ugh, SO HARD. Ask me questions and I will happily answer.
