5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Judge This Book By Its Cover!, November 12, 2000

Intellegent. Thought provoking. Surprising. And a lot of fun! All the best bits of the genre rolled into one. I'll never be able to think of a 'bunny girl' ever again without thinking of Lane's S'leen. Amazingly as it may seem, this is one book that really is actually better than its impressive cover.

I have had a chance to get to know Mr. Lane over the past months and I must say he brings a lot of experience to the table for this book and his stories. If you are fortunate enough to talk to him, you'll find someone with depth, imagination and plenty of life knowledge. When these qualities translate to a story you'll find no less than an awesome book! Look for his next story also, you won't be disappointed!

Well, I'd searched for this title quiete a long time. Thanks Amazon, now I found it.
All in all a nicely written book. Though some minor things like the repetetive use of situations and the need to explain everything. Also a nicely done cover and some fine illustrations.
Mr. Lane is quiete good at setting of the stage and bring over the emotions of his characters. In this he has a very fine hand.
To make it short, it's a book I'ld buy again.
