I am probably going to see it soon. I will try to remember to post my thoughts.

I am eagerly waiting to see what the two of them come up with together! And they have a website set up for the series, but it hasn’t been publicly announced yet. It’s http://www.heedtheprophecy.wordpress.com.

In keeping with the Nesbit theme, I’m reading Five Children and It.

I’m reading Return to Alastair.

Yes, it’s Christopher Hopper’s book, and I don’t like it much. I don’t think he writes very well, and there are literally hundreds of grammar mistakes that drive me crazy.

On top of everything else, I started The Prince and the Pauper.

I can hardly believe my good luck recently, but we got to go to a book signing with Sir Batson and Christopher Hopper on Saturday! It was at a really cool Irish pub in PA. They did two sword-fights with hilarious banter (the second one was for the local TV cameraman). Mr. Batson did a reading from The Door Within, and Mr. Hopper sang one of his songs. Then they came around to each table to sit down and chat with their fans! They were both very friendly. They’re such awesome guys. I had a blast.

(And we got our picture put on Mr. Hopper’s blog!)

I’ve only read the first one, and I thought it hovered on the line between allegory and story too much. It is marketed as fiction, and I think it pretty much fails miserably there, but it had some interesting points as an allegory. That’s not to say I disliked it, though.

I would like to read the rest sometime, but our library doesn’t have them, they would be hard to get on ILL, and I’m not going to spend money on them unless I get them used. So, I’ll read them eventually.
