It seems there's more melodrama and romantic entanglements in this novel than in the short story (which is a rather good story, I'd have to say).Christian_Henrikssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013383718388416698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984067990467963645.post-23505576253000424212017-11-02T17:16:16.388-07:002017-11-02T17:16:16.388-07:00I'm now two-thirds of the way through the Aver...<em>I'm now two-thirds of the way through the Average Jones book, which is fantastic!</em><br /><br />It is isn't it? One of those neglected gems. A strange writer but he knows how to entertain. The Average Jones book is a bit more disciplined - not going off into the realms of the fantastic - and I think that helps.dfordoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306293859869179118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984067990467963645.post-59308393448956260732017-11-02T12:24:26.033-07:002017-11-02T12:24:26.033-07:00Having posted that, I'm now two-thirds of the ...Having posted that, I'm now two-thirds of the way through the Average Jones book, which is fantastic!tom j joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13108887693320361796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984067990467963645.post-91765397951597069472017-10-30T15:07:53.075-07:002017-10-30T15:07:53.075-07:00I think 'strange' and 'fun' put it...I think 'strange' and 'fun' put it best. I found this at Gutenberg after reading this blog, and have just finished it.<br /><br />"Adams throws everything but the kitchen sink into this tale" <br /><br />That's putting it mildly!
