he was doing fine until he quoted that piece from the Da Vinci Code and asked 'who could put that down?' well, me for a start! How corny is that line? Yes, he's right about the rest in a way, you need good content and good writing. It's just a shame so much good content gets wasted on bad writing - already in print, I mean. I've had some bad books lately ... so have been glad I got them from a charity shop;. Had I paid full price for them, I would have returned them under the Trades Description Act. It's infuriating, there's so much talent right here on TB and yet out there, on the shelves, there's rubbish!

Aw shucks, Dorothy, there's no need to tell it like it is ;) .
