POCKET APOCALYPSE open thread!

To celebrate the release of Pocket Apocalypse, here. Have an open thread to discuss the book. Judging by the comments I'm seeing, some of you have had time, and I'd really, really rather book discussion (sometimes including spoilers) didn't crop up on other posts.

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.) I will be DELETING all comments containing spoilers which have been left on other posts. No one gets to spoil people here without a label.

You can also start a 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, and try not to bleed on the carpet.

The book arrived on the 9th (last Monday), and I've been reading it in snatches whenever I don't have to have my eyes focused on something else. (This means I've read most of it either in the bathroom, or while eating. Yes, I can read horrific descriptions of creatures turning into werewolves and tearing their victims to pieces while I'm eating.)

I've been to Australia twice, although I spent almost the whole time in downtown Melbourne. I love Australia, and I'd go back in a heartbeat if I still had the money for travel. But smearing your face with Vegemite doesn't actually repel drop bears; if anything, it makes you seem even tastier to them :-)

I don't even want to talk about the mouse... I had to stop reading for half an hour. Shelby's family, except for Shelby herself and Gabby, all deserve to be slapped repeatedly. Wadjet females all seem to be incredibly sensible, which is not something I'd have expected of cobras. Basil the yowie is a good friend to have. And lycanthropy is originally a waheela disease? (The thought of a werewolf waheela is seriously terrifying.)

I can't wait for the description of Alex and Shelby's wedding - or Verity and Dominic's; hey, maybe they could have a double wedding! (And I also can't wait for October and Tybalt's wedding, but that's literally another story.)
