I have no idea who NewBooksMag is, but I'm glad the novel grabbed you enough to read it. My UK publisher, Hodder, is pushing the release back to April of '09, although libraries and export/airport trade paperbacks are out this week.
The book debuted here in the States a couple of weeks ago. It's exciting for me now that people are reading it. Very different than having a film out.
I believe there will be an ad in the NYT book review section this Sunday. Not sure about a review there yet.
Anyway, thanks again for the nice words and I'm delighted you enjoyed it.
If anyone has any questions for me, feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to answer. I'm new to the board here, but I think it's a great site and I like the way you've organized it.
