I read the first two books nearly two decades ago (written under his full surname) and went to buy the third, but it hadn't been published. So I waited, and waited, and checked for it and waited some more. Then I read it wouldn't be published because of poor sales of the first two books. In the meantime he wrote a load of children's books and became famous so they re-released the first two books of trilogy again, and finally the third book came out in paperback last week.
I'm looking forward to reading it, I really hope that I'm not going to be horribly disappointed. I'm not sure that any book could live up to such a long period of anticipation.
Any other fans? I recommend the first two books, they are seriously weird but very compulsive reading.
