BLACKOUT open thread!

To celebrate the release of Blackout, 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. (I will not reply to every comment; I call partial comment amnesty. But I may well join some of the discussion, or answer questions or whatnot.)

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, since I always wind up getting involved in these things.

Have fun!

I love how you handled Shaun's imaginary Georgia toward the end. Up until then, she'd been this smart, snarky voice in Shaun's head. And I could accept that. Yes, he was crazy, but to quote an ER nurse: "We never deal with the crazy people who have voices in their head that tell them to buckle up and eat a healthy breakfast." He was crazy, but it was a perfectly functional crazy.

But then the cloned Georgia showed up. And that's when things got difficult. I love how you did that. There was no sudden line where Imaginary Georgia changed, but once Cloned Georgia showed up, she just got creepier and scarier, and eventually she's trying to get Shaun to kill himself. I found that the most disturbing part; way scarier than the zombies.
