I am really enjoying seeing other posters opinions on this story, I've always particularly enjoyed this story out of the many excellent stories from this time period. I would contribute some reviews of my own, but sadly my Frank Miller DD Omnibus is on loan to a friend at the moment . I'm still glad to see other posters break down why this is such an excellent story though.

I like the way the book club is going right now, alternating between the more controversial stories like Father and the classics like Man Without Fear. Its nice to see other's thoughts on these stories, sometimes one gets new insight into the stories based on what others have to say, appreciating the good stuff more or seeing that maybe it isn't quite as sterling as we may have built it up to be, or even seeing that the stuff we don't like isn't always as terrible as we previously thought. I still couldn't bring myself to reread Father, though I did enjoy reading other people's thoughts on it.

Yeah, it was a fun one. Now we need a new idea.

Regarding the phone thing, does anyone want to think about that? Does Matt's superhearing let him hear into the future (or I guess hear the other person dialing)? Is there something I don't know about phones about some kind of supersonic buzz before it rings. Any thoughts?

I don't have time to do my full review yet, but to comment on the telephone thing, I'd say Matt probably heard some kind of switch or transistor or something click on inside the phone. The ringer isn't instantaneous, there has to be a connection before it can work. It's still the case even in modern day phones. My cell phone usually lights up a couple seconds before a call comes through. We also have a land line through the cable company, and the caller ID often pops up on the TV several seconds before the phone actually rings.
