Wow. That's quite a tall order. I will remain Bruce Lindfield (perpetually skeptical) until I read it myself. Til then....

Someone from the marketing dept. no doubt...

Eoin Colfer is pretty good...

I'm not familiar with this Colfer fellow, but I just can't see this being a good idea...

I can't see this turning out well. Then again it might be the best book written in the last 40 years.

George Lucas, hmmm
I'm reminded of a quote...
He attacked everything in life with a mix of extraordinary genius and naive incompetence, and it was often difficult to tell which was which.

'Sup Ben, Is that DOC for GI joe in your avatar?

and a treat

This one is my favorite:

The War On Terror
