    I introduced my sister (5 years my senior) to Kate.  Knowing her taste,
    kind of eclectic, but not too dynamically intriguing, I gave her copies
    of _Kick_ and _HoL_ and told her if she liked these, get the rest of 'em
    but save _The Dreaming_ for last as it's the most challenging, even
    though it's my fave.

    She loved _HoL_, much more than _Kick_, and decided to disregard my
    advice and fill in the gap in reverse chronological order.  She can not
    listen to _The Dreaming_.  She said it was too intense...

    It's intensity is one of the reasons it's my fave.
