I am not a student of the classics, although I have read my fair share of them. So I'm not going to nitpick that.
Having said that, I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I found myself completely immersed in the story's world, following the players with open-mouthed wonder. I had to literally shake myself when the theme music came back on at the end.
That is the mark of a wonderful story.
Also the idea of Furry being a bad-assed punk girl with a penchant for showing people that they are idiots appeals to me.
Even if she just plays at being a bad-ass over the summer.
And I realize that I just gave Tim my second glowing praise in 10 minutes.
Yes, he is that great. Also this might be a good time (since I see that he's on the thread) to mention that I really enjoyed his playful romp at the center of the multiverse in his serialized novel The Nex. If you haven't read it yet, you owe it to yourself to go check it out. (It's completed now, but I've been following it from the beginning, waiting for each Monday with baited breath and anticipation. Never have I appreciated Mondays like that before, or since.)
One last thing, would it be really cool to have a Greek chorus flash-mob?
