The Footnote Fairy
Okay, so anyone who has had Dr. Beidler out of the English Dept. has had to have heard the phrase "footnote fairy"--that wonderful fairy that comes along right when you think you can't go on from the confusion and *poof* there is an explanation. This book has an army of footnote fairies at work, and whereas I usually hate footnotes, explanation or no, I actually enjoyed these. I loved the footnote early in the book when it told the story of Drawlight throwing the cat out the window...too funny.
Okay, I think I'm rambling, but I just wanted to mention that. See, footnote fairy...book on magic? Coincedence? I think not...hehe.

Ah, the footnote fairy. She has her television counterpart in the exposition fairy. This fairy often possesses a character in my favorite show (The West Wing) so that said character can explain some fact or information essential to help one who does not work in the White House or Congress to understand the current plotline.
I'm curious to know how the footnotes are handled in the audio book. Does anyone know?
