It is clear that all of us appreciate the subtle weaving of the plot that Dom does so well. His characters are vivid, likeable, and in the cases when they need to be unlikeable. All of his stories are easy to enjoy and The Log Way as his first is probably one of his best, but one of the things that I jsut want to point out now, which I'm sure that everyone has noticed and probably stated before, but Dom's language in his stories is sublime. His choice of words to describe the moment are always perfect, apt and add to the storyline immensely. We are absolutely honoured to be provided with such quality literature and on such a frequent basis. It would be interesting to see Dom turn his hand to more classical literature, although personally I enjoy his stories immensely, so I wouldn't want to stop the flow.
One other thing that I've observed, and everyone will probably disagree with me, but being English (grossly unfashionable these days), there seems to be a really European sense to a lot of Dom's stories. The ideas in the stories all have a sense of European openess and tolerance, something which I personally don't naturally associate with America, but I think I'm probably incorrect in that assumption and just pandering to stereotypes, so for the very reason that Dom shows such worldly flair and literary class in his writing I am forever grateful.
