FEED spoiler party!

Okay, folks, I've been asked for it, and here it is: the spoiler party for Feed. Anything goes in the comments on this post only. If you haven't read the book, I ask that you not click. If you have, feel free to jump in, ask questions, discuss, or just yell at me. I'm cool either way.

Game on!

Lois, was actually not unexpected for me, kind of like a "see what a big bad bully I am" I was more mad than shocked. George? I actually get why George, doesn't mean I like it, I sobbed, like a baby, I had to go back and reread it, TWICE. I told Wayne he should have warned me, but really how could he, that would have ruined it, totally. Even with Buffy dying, I didn't see it. Even with the bug bite, I didn't really see it. It was there but I ignored it, because I didn't want it to be real. It's been a long time, a very long time since I've liked some one in a book that much. I didn't want it to be real, but it was. Stupid Zombie Book TM*


*when my kids were younger a movie that made me cry was stupid. There are lots of movies that make me cry, and TV shows even TV ads. Books? Not so much. Curse of Chalion made me cry, Lost Boys (Orson Scott Card) did, Books donts makes me cry. You are on a short list here.

Actually Lois was the hard part for me. People? No big deal. Kill as many as you like.

Pets? A pet dying bothers me. A lot.

THIS. I muttered, "That bitch." when I read it. But at least the scene saved their lives.

You know I love you and your writing. Having me actually utter anything while reading is a feat and a good one.

I wasn't trying to be a bully, honest I wasn't, but I needed to get Rick away from his trailer, and the people who came for them didn't care about her. She was just a little cat. Rick loved her a lot.

Oh, you misunderstand, you weren't being a bully. Her death was the act of one. well, I guess the whole terrorist thing could be looked at that way.

Oh I'm not putting this very well, I've taken my night time meds so my brain is scrambled. I know you're not a bully honest. It's the way you wrote it. Who but a truly heartless bullying thug would so casually kill an animal, who was truly innocent and then throw her aside.
George, she didn't deserve to die, but she knew it might happen, she could see it coming, somehow it made it less, and at the same time more horrific. That make not make much sense. but I never claimed to make any sense.

It's a Kick The Dog sort of moment. "How evil am I? I'm not just going to infect people with a zombie virus and try to kill people with bombs, I'm going to kill this kitten with my bare hands. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Lois's death at least had a use, and moved the plot forward. Hedwigs death was (IMHO) useless, and did nothing to forward the plot. Sorry, not a fan. I'm stopping now.

She was such a little cat. :(
