PARASITE open thread!

To (somewhat belatedly) celebrate the release of Parasite, 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 loved this book. I wasn't gonna read it, because tapeworms and I'm a horror wimp, but I read a sample chapter somewhere (I suspect that was the fault of spectralbovine) and then I got an ARC, so I read and reviewed it for Smart Bitches.

I was also like, "Um, it's increasingly obvious that Sal is a tapeworm, so... uh... is this supposed to be a surprise?" and while apparently it's not, I still felt very smug at the time.

The only quibbles I really had were that Tansy and Dr. Cale felt at their introductions like retreads of Fox and Dr. Shannon. They eventually did break away from that feeling, but I did spend some time going, "Um, but we did this?"

Asking authors to please write faster, even as a (terrible, unfunny) joke, is obnoxious, so I'm just sitting here. Quietly. Possibly quivering with anticipation.
