.... glad I got to read such an intriguing novel. I will always remember the moment I read the first line of the book (not including the preface). Kae and I were sitting in the big couch chairs at Barnes and Noble trying to get our summer reading done.

.... some more information, about his dark demise. Weather adds to the “gloominess� of this play. The quote “Hover through the fog and filthy air� (Act1,sc1) really gives gloomy mental picture.
