So THIS is the reason why you must always let your conscience be your guide! Love the moral, it made me laugh!

PS: In answer to your questions about "Malloy House":

1. Zebedee was a character in a animated Britsh kids' TV show and movie called "The Magic Roundabout". I think the movie is called "Sprung!" or something in the USA. He is a magician with a red face and moustashe and a spring in the place of legs. Personally, I just like the name! I'm glad that you like his hair! I do too!

2. Liana Phoenix is fictional and is my own invented character (as are all of the characters in the story), but she is kind of inspired by all the famous rockstars who died drug-related deaths.

3. I was very glad by the fact you liked Count Andre and Claude. I've always been interested in that sort of French era myself. Thanks again for the idea!

Best wishes,Bluebottle.

haha...so hilarious, yet it had space to discuss this philosophical issue. Its a coincidence because I read about the concept of reality in "Sophie's World". I don't know hether to laugh or to reflect and contemplate about the ending. Very good, you got me to post a fairly long review!=)
