2008-10-09 a rotten end to a great series of books

I've read many of WS's books and usually love them. I was looking forward to this, the 4th Taita book and really enjoyed it up until they journey to "Shangri La" and apes are acting as bouncers in the tunnel. Then as I read that Meren's eye is about to be regrown from stem cells, I got completely fed up with the story. Then Taita's penis is regrown and of course, it's much bigger, heavier and better than his original. His love for Fenn who has not yet had her 1st period is a bit pervy as is his move on her once she has! Oh, and then he gets reborn as a 30 year old man - its just gets sillier and sillier - SHAME ON YOU, W.S. This is a sad and crappy end to the wonderful series
