It just happens that "The Practice Effect" is really brin's frist work. He did most of it while he was an undergrad at caltec. I reviewed the manuscript before he sent it off to the publisher, and it was a very hard book to review. It was good, but it is missing a few things that I couldn't really put my finger on, at least in a useful manner. "The Pratice Effect" was ment to be, and is, a "fun" book. I wouldn't rate it as good as his otherworks, but if you read his works in the order he *wrote* them, you will notice that he is continually improving. Lets hope he continues in this fashion. -- --- don "The Back to Hack Kid" coleman@sdccsu3.ucsd sdcsvax!sdccsu3!coleman@berkely.arpa [ ihnp4|decvax|ittvax|ucbvax ]!sdcsvax!sdccsu3!coleman.uucp
