Mr Helmer was indeed a trooper to answer our questions! Thank you ever so much for honoring ONBC with your participation!

Liz, DITHOT, as always you have done a fabulous job leading us through the tidbits, discussion, and this fabulous Q&A with the author. Fellow Noodlemantras, you rock!

A big "tip of the Dillinger hat" to Mr. Helmer for answering all our questions with such honesty.

Of course a big "tip of the Dillinger hat" to Liz and DITHOT for their leadership and to all the noodlemantras for the great questions.

Yes, many thanks to Liz and DITHOT for all the work, energy and dedication. It makes the book exploration interesting and fun. Examining all sides of the story.

Liz and DITHOT, you'd better watch out. I'm beginning to expect the exceptional from the two of you. You never cease to amaze me. (I hadn't noticed that little guy before, but he sure is cute.) And I'm so pleased that there's no gap between the ending of one book and the tidbits for the next.

At the close of my book-discussion-that-meets-at-the-library last week, I mentioned that that first book club I'd participated in was online. After a bunch of questions about logistics, I confessed that it was here--and not only my first book club, but the most impressive. As usual, you rock!

Yes, when I talk about my "on-line" book club I don't usually just blurt out where it is located. Then I hastily do some explaining about the books and the education level and all of that, and how interesting it is to share views with people from all over the world, but somehow when people hear it is a Johnny Depp website I think they must assume it is really dumbed down for a group of silly fans. Little would they guess how very smart and deep our members are! However, they are ALWAYS impressed when they learn how many authors have consented to take part here.

I am sad that out time spent with Mr Helmer and Dillinger has come to an end. I truly enjoyed it and as fansmom said we are all getting so spoiled here that your exceptional running of our little book club has become the norm and we almost expect it.

I laughed with you Nebraska at having to explain the excellence of our book club because so many people think as you say "it is really dumbed down for a group of silly fans". Little do they know that Johnny reads enough to keep us very challenged. I have found myself explaining that to so many people after I mention my favorite book club is on the Johnny Depp zone and they give me the eye roll.

Sure do!

Not to mention a little rock and roll now and then...
