Due to the intrusion of two factors (ArmadilloCon and             Real Life), few of us had read much of the book. Three             people were at or past the halfway mark, and the rest             had barely started.

Comments by those who had read significant             portions of the book include &#8220;sober and adult but not             dark&#8221;, &#8220;de Lint seems to dismiss creativity in areas             other than the Fine Arts&#8221;, and &#8220;interesting take on how             things happen and how we remember them&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8211;A.
