...An' ne'er the twain shall meet.

That's how I usually end up describing how I believe people will feel about Baudino's "Water!" trilogy. Either you love it, or you hate it...an' ne'er...well, you get it.So why did I love it? Mostly it was the challenge. There's *so* much going on in these books that sometimes I just had to sit passive and let the stream of her words carry me on. Other times I was an active participant in the adventure able to use the very simple formula needed for the exact length of swinging rope (this never failed to make me chuckle).I loved the concept of the library, and of the scribes. Talk about "blind copying"! I think in the end the reason I loved these books is because they were so *interesting*...something to see and think about on nearly every page.For those that enjoy a good, active read where the author challenges you in many ways, I would certainly recomend this and the rest of the series.
