ATD verdict?

[robinlandseadel at comcast.net]

While it is a little bit early for such things, 
AtD certainly is reimniscent of GR in many 
spots and---in the scene of the CoC delivering
sure doom to a great city, as well in other 
scenes---has some of the author's
best writing. I'll say it'll fit into the Author's
canon the way Godfather II fits into Coppola's
canon. And I'm sure there's an awful pun in
there, just waiting to strike like a Black Mamba.
It might be the best thing he has ever done and
most certainly has the greatest and broadest 
varieties of characters and plots of anything 
he has done. It's a richer text for all that.
