E.R. Barr had set the bar high on my expectation scale from the beginning, and this can sometimes back fire if the remainder of the tale does not fulfill. I'm at 81% complete at this time and do believe that he has followed through with the very promising beginning.

is a bit slow. I don't know if others felt it too.
Thanks for asking.

The first scene that we all see, with Walter Johnson, was also very fun to read. I have been to that area of the country before, so I was able to make up a fairly realistic picture in my head as the mists were creeping down the river. The bar scene later was a surprise, and only served to intrigue me further.

I was hooked by the story from the beginning when Walter made it to the willows and the Piasa was not able to follow. Since we knew the willows were on Indian burial grounds, I felt that the story would take interesting turns on several levels. Then the story switched to modern times but with Irish mythology under scrutiny. I wanted to see how an author could tie all this together.What do you think? When did you become engrossed in the story?
