Considering the existence of writers and/or poets like Shakespeare and Homer, Cervantes and Dostoevsky, Hugo and Petrarca, Wolfram von Eschenbach and Baudelaire, Bulgakov and Donne - (stop me at any time ) -, Manzoni and Spee, Lagerlöf and Kafka, Strindberg and Grimmelshausen, Goethe and Catullus, Laxness and Th. Mann, Enquist and Mulisch, Murakami and Petronius, Høeg and Poe, Wodehouse and Gogol, (three hours later) ... I feel inclined to contradict. Nothing said against the quality of Stephen Fry's books, which I also enjoyed enormously, but "the best writer ever"?

Of course, we all know Dan Brown is the best writer ever.
 Nah, i like his books really. I'm a simpleton you see, easily confuddled by long words and stuff and all that. Give me a story with some gritty action, a romantic undercurrent and a dramatic climax, and i'm as happy as a pig in sherry. |

You think that Dan Brown is a good writer
 Sorry, but his books are strange. Think of the scene in the end of Illuminati. He jumps out a helicopter and falls into the Tiber, and survives (!) This guy is mad, you see (!) |

Nope His Fryness is hands down the best writer ever...Every other book pales in comparison.
I just wish he would publish some of his poetry (the stuff he said he wrote but would never publish) so he could put Milton, Plath, Hughes, Blake, Wordsworth and others in their place But as for Dan Brown.... Pfffff! I mean the bad dood is a red eyed albino. Come on... |

I just started Revenge last night, and I must say, it's really pretty good. (I'd spotted it when I had popped into the library for the I, Claudius DVDs.
)I'm not very far yet, seeing as I didn't start it 'til about one in the morning. But one thing I've noticed so far is that all the characters are very distinct. Often times in books, the bad guys will be shoved into one corner and the good guys into the next. There are the basic differentiating details among the members of each group, but essentially, if you're a goodie or a baddie, you're practically a clone of everyone else from your chosen side of whatever the dividing issue is. All characteristics sort of blend together in a big pool of mush, you know? But not in this book! So far all the characters feel very individual, much more alive. I'm absolutely loving it. Sooo refreshing. "Your room...it's CLEAN!!!" |

Yeah why was The Stars Tennis Balls called Revenge in America?
I enjoyed it when Babe tied it in with that line from a poem |

To spare the Puritans the sight of the words BALLS so prominent in the title?
