I have read all (I think) of these books. They are (despite the review I just read in reply to your posting) quite good; I was not put off by the "I am telling an important story" attitude, since 1) I didn't really feel that it was present, and 2) she IS telling an important story. That is isn't a new slant escaped me, too...I really hadn't read anything similar to the first one, and *certainly* nothing similar to the rest, with the exception of _The Sentimental Agents_, which was reminiscent of Swift. I would recommend reading them, but of course everyone has different tastes! Try 'em, you might like them! :-) Roy
