everything talks on Venus!!!??? Cool!!! I'm just a big kid at heart, Pascale!!! That's why i'm still reading kids' books!!! the series is "similar" to "The Lord of the Rings" series...kinda/sorta. others might disagree but both series are about journeys, magic, and they both have rings in them! well, there are other similarities, but who cares!! it's gonna be warm on Venus, Pascale!!! bring plenty of swimsuits!!!!! :)
