I'll have to disagree here. I really like Nigel Findley's books. In fact,
one of the more obscure and forgotten novels, Lone Wolf, was by far my
favorite SR novel. I saw it at the book store, thought it looked ok, so I
bought it and took it home. Immediatly upon reading the first few pages I
was hooked. For two days (luckily it was the weekend) all I did was read
that novel. His writing style was what I liked most. It seemed as if the
main character was sitting across from me, reciting the events as if he
were telling a good friend (any English majors wanna tell me what this
style/perspective is called?). Though the story was ok, it was really Mr.
Findley's style which drew me in and kept me reading for 2 days straight.
