" My airplane book this last trip. I've read de Lint's stuff before, and while it's entertaining, as with so many otherwise solid works of fiction the prose just feels a little thin, the characters sometimes spilling into Mary Sue land. I like my prose buttery! Take the long road to the finish! Also a personal hangup: for some reason it always makes me cringe when characters describe themselves, or are described, in more pop-cultural terms . . . when they think about bands they like by name, or describe themselves as bohos or skateboarders, that sort of thing. I feel squirrelly just thinking about it. Makes my teeth hurt. "
