DEADLINE open thread. Have a party.

To celebrate the release of Deadline [Amazon]|[Mysterious Galaxy], here. Have an open thread to discuss the book.

THERE 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 finally got hold of this book (for some reason, no bookstore I could find in my city had it and a friend got it through Amazon for me) and then promptly read it in five hours.

Well, except for the brief break after 'she would have gotten better' when I stomped around the house, cried, swore at the ceiling, verbally keysmashed, and had to go buy Coke and chips to calm down. I'm usually more of a Dr Pepper girl, but Coke felt more appropriate.

I was so MAD at that, but I wasn't mad at you. I was mad at the universe (and the Newsflesh universe feels so real) that let that happen. It's not fair, goddammit. Even if there's a clone!George, it won't be the same.

George and Shaun made me happy since I've been arguing with my brother about the nature of their relationship since Feed. I win! Hah! I spent a lot of time feeling sorry for Shaun and also a lot of time wishing he wouldn't be so threatening to his employees. :( The poor guy. And the poor people who have to put up with him.

The storm really freaked me out, I thought at first it was a water-based transmission. I may have played too much Pandemic II.

It's funny how nervous I was about this series because I don't really like zombies. But Feed is one of my favourite books and while I'll have to reread Deadline to solidify my opinions on it (maybe... a little slower this time...) I expect it will be up there too.

I'm really looking forward to Blackout!
The fact that I made you mad at the universe makes me very happy.

Thank you.
