chipperTHERE WILL BE SPOILERS.
Seriously. If anyone comments here at all, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. So please don't read and then yell at me because you encountered spoilers. You were warned.
You can also start a book discussion at my website forums, with less need to be concerned that I will see everything you say! In case you wanted, you know, discussion free of authorial influence. I will probably answer a great many comments. I may not answer all of them.
Have fun!

I was completely prepared for Shaun to amplify and go zombie. I was devastasted by the "She would've gotten better." I cried my eyes out when George died in the first book and that was a brutal slap in the face. A well placed slap in the face at that.
Honestly, maybe I'm dense but Shaun and George's relationship never came across as incest to me because they were adopted. Of course, I also missed the clues in Feed.
I loved the discussion of the Reservoir Conditions, but the spider with KA...well, that made me shudder. And squick. And be real grateful you didn't dwell on it.
Of all of the minor characters in the book, I think Dr. Abbey is probably my favorite.
I loved that you made Dr. Kellis a gay man and that it was just another fact about him and he could have just as easily have been straight. He was just a scientist trying to do the right thing.
I've already lent out my copy and gave my oldest child a copy of his own--he loves books very hard.
Over all, I'd say you won the Internet and I'm saddened I have to wait a year to see how the story wraps. It's going to be a long year in deed. :)
