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.
Really? I knew she was going to die before I hit Book 2, and I was so sure of it by the end of Book 2 that I checked the back to be sure (hell yes I'm that kind of a reader). I was pretty pleased by how fairly you played it. I kept figuring Shaun would die at some point (not the first book, surely), but I got a sinking feeling when I saw "the unpublished files of Georgia Mason." Except I didn't think you were allowed to kill your narrator, especially when she was narrating in past tense. Isn't that against the rules? DAMMIT.
During my next reread, I think I'm going to keep official count of the number of casual or explicit references to Georgia's rock-solid belief that Shaun would die first.
I had the sad feeling that I tried to ignore that that many repetitions of "Shaun will die first and I'll have to bury him" meant that the opposite was going to happen.

By the second, I knew.

I think I will count, too!
