<DIV>I've long been an admirer of Gwyneth Jones. Her first science fiction
book "Divine Endurance" was a perfect gem. And her book of criticism,
"Deconstructing The Starships" is simply the best science fiction criticism I've
ever read, <EM>pace</EM> Kingley Amis and John Clute.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But I'm having trouble with her fantasy series "Bold As Love". What's
happened to that beautiful Englishwoman? She's gone dead on the
page. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is anyone else in the group a reader of Gwen Jones?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'd be interested in hearing your opinion.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks to all of you</DIV>
