Rob,
A nice pick me up after the cancellation of FlashForward.
Congratulations
ps: I bought Watch when it first came out, but haven’t been able to set aside enough time to read it. It keeps staring at me on the front hall table.

Mr. Sawyer,
I deeply appreciated this book. What an easy and enjoyable read! I do not engage in hyperbole when I say that it has given me a greater appreciation for the alien nature of the perspective held by other people. I already note the greater degree of latitude I am willing to give them.
Thank you.
