Advantages: That old magic's still there... Disadvantages: ...but not often enough
The appearance of a sequel (of sorts) to Watership Down, almost a quarter of a century after the original book's appearance, should have been a cause for wild celebration amongst the many fans of Hazel, Fiver, Hyzenthlay and the rest of Richard Adams' lapine creations. As indeed it was - until we came to read it. Rather unfairly perhaps, given that it is in no way a disastrous effort, many readers will come away fromTalesfrom Watership Down feeling disappointed and let down.
Talesfrom Watership Down (TFWD) is a much thinner volume than Watership Down itself, running to under 250 pages as opposed to the 470-plus of the original.

This was an extremely ...
Advantages: Describes the era well, entertaining, very 70s Disadvantages: Sketchy plot, shallow characters, lack of depth and direction

Introduction
I first heard about this American author when my boyfriend bought and read Maupin's then latest book 'The Night Listener'. He had told me Mauprin was the same who wrote the 'Tales of the City' series I'd vagely heard of. Always excited by finding a new 'favourite' writer, I serendipidously came across 'Tales of the City' on the 'Book Swap' shelves at my workplace.
About the author
Armistead Maupin was born in 1944 into a conservative family embracing those values and becoming a lawyer. He later changed his views and moved to Califormia where he started working as a journalist for papers such as The Pacific Sun and The San Francisco Chronicle. It was the latter where his column 'Tales of the City' was published from 1976. The book - his first - bearing the same title came out in ...
