Don't be. Did you like White Teeth? Legolas Send a noteboard - 17/01/2012 09:13:22 PM
I've been worried it wouldn't be good.

If so, this is arguably better. More focused and with a stronger ending, anyway. Perhaps a bit less ambitious in scope (which I guess is kind of the logical consequence of "more focused"...), a bit less spectacular and headline-grabbing, but still arguably a better book.
