I keep being tempted to rant at length about everything that was wrong with it, but I'm not sure I want to start it up here. Of course, if I did, I'd probably be flamed by all the folks who liked it. I'm not here to (deliberately) create conflicts.
Well... I wouldn't flame you, but let me just say I liked it best out of the neu-trilogy. I can probably see why you didn't like it... maybe not... I don't know - maybe tell sometime and if you offend me I'll shove a headless chicken up your nostril... or a chicken head...
