And yeah, I don't dislike Thief. It's just not as good -- and I hate having information withheld on purpose. (I used to think that I hated Turner doing first person, but then I read the first couple of chapters of Conspiracy, which is available online, and is told from first-person Sophos POV, and I really liked that.)

Hmm, I haven't read Sandman. I take this to mean I should start?
