That needs to be confirmed, but if true...not good for Ward.<br /><br />My critique is going to be rough. I sincerely hope he's trolling the ecofreak crowd. However, he may, in fact, believe this. If so...oy. <br /><br />I will say based on this one I won't be picking up any more Ward books. Sloppy is the kindest thing I can say.<br /><br />I saw the Diamond thread.
