y'all who've read it aren't saying much about it - why is that?
I mean...there IS a way to discuss stuff without spoilers - tell us your
impression of it, kids.
Coz the silence is making me think it's a polite 'if you can't say something
nice don't say anything at all' type of silence... So tell us, already!

I thought it was rather good, and some of the story is quite original. Very
interesting characters, and some decent character development. I am eager
to read the next book in the series. You should read it.

I agree with drax. Overall a really good and fun read. I'm looking
forward to part II as well.

I thought it was damn cool, very well written for a "childrens" story,
and, when you think about what he's describing, is quite disturbing
imagery :p loved it, can't wait for more...

Abarat - Just started Abarat. In addition to the "Ahhh, this is _pleasure_ reading" feeling I get from reading a book with pictures (and wonderfully done & laid out too), I particularly enjoy the fact that the chapters are approximately one cigaret...

Abarat 2 - I see Abarat 2 comes out next week ( or so ): http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0060291702/ref=cm_wl_hu_item-added/103-1816290-5471854?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance Who wants to buy me a copy? :)

Abarat in Dutch - Are there any Dutch people who have already seen Abarat in Dutch? I've been looking for it, but I haven't found it yet. And for those who haven't read my messages before. That's because I'm new here. Nice to meet you all. William.

Abarat Trade Paperback - I see Abarat 1's just hit the shelves here in NZ in Trade Paperback... Any sign of Abarat 2?
