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.
Sobbed when Buffy died. Bawled like an inconsolable wretch when George died. For that to happen, for Shaun to have to be the one to end her life... heartbreaking.
I didn't expect to like George, but she grew on me throughout the book to the point where I have a tough time imagining the rest of the series without her. The last time I can remember crying this hard over the death of a character in a book was when I was a young girl and read Little Women for the first time and Beth died. It was my first moment when I realized that main characters could die, people you loved, who had done nothing wrong. Losing George was a Tara killing moment. A Wash killing moment. It's something Joss would do. It made me want a disclaimer sticker on the cover that says "Do not love the people in this book. It is a killing book."

And I still can't wait for the next one.
