One thing that was bugging me: on page 504, George yells at Shaun for not being dressed. On page 517, he has a pocket. In between those pages, I didn't notice him going anywhere near his clothing, but through the kitchen and then to the garage and back. (This is when they're at Maggie's once they've driven through the storm and had to strip to get inside.) Can anyone point to a sentence in which he gets dressed? I spent all those pages imagining him doing things mostly-naked due to lack of clothing identifiers.
Other comments.
1) SQUEE! I guessed the clone thing at the last line, as evidenced by a text I sent to a friend who finished before me. One was, clone George? The next was, read extras, I was right.
2) Had a hard time believing that Doctor Wynne was involved. :( :( :(
3)I didn't pick up on the fact that Shaun and George were sexually intimate until I read the threads. Kudos on the subtlety.
4) I am sad that Shaun changed his blog name. Not surprised, but sad. I liked "Hail to the King" but "Adaptive Immunities" just isn't as...Irwiny and pre-George's death Shaun.
5) Epileptic teacup bulldogs love.
6) Still trying to puzzle out the connection between Shaun seeing a George-without-retinalKA and the clone-without-retinalKA. Can't wait for more clues.
10) Here just because I can't leave the list at 6, but 7 is worse.

Though it makes you wonder why Shaun picked that BEFORE the events of this book.

Like he was saying he had adapted to be immune to shock because nothing after shooting Georgia dead would ever shock him again.
That's how it parsed to me, anyway.
