...HALLUCINATIONS defy common sense yet intermingle with it like honeysuckle gradually choking its host plant. Althea bridges the gap between fantasy and reality. J.M. Alonzo's third novel is a brilliantly successful suspension of the reader's belief, a literary Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds in which time, space and motivation convolute and distort one another so that one is both enmeshed and detached.

Petrovek was sharp for most of the game, turning away 30 shots while Craig was kicking out 34. The senior was dented twice in the second period, however, when the Terriers put together a power play score and a breakaway in the space of little over one minute...

The choreography, on the other hand, makes the most of the tiny stage: the dance sequences are adequate, although the full-cast numbers look like barely organized mayhem with practically no one having any room to move...
