I borrowed this from my school library after remembering his name from the Cult intensive. It's looking to be fantastic, similar to Survivor on a superficial level, the plane thing, and a sort of countdown thing, but it's great, it really is, and has one of the best beginning sequences I've ever read, that being a stand-up routine. If you see it about give the first twenty pages your attention and then make your decision. I'll post more when I finish it. I'm aiming to do that by the end of next week. Though after that I'm really going to start working on my unread list. Which I've chipped about an eigth into.

Anyone else read it? Enjoyed it? Hated it?
I don't actually care, but apparantly I can't have a successful thread all by myself, so yeah, feel free to throw your WRONG opinions at my face.

I was happily going to share my thoughts, but that was just too obnoxious.

When/if you finish the book, look at the thread I bumped. It's got too many spoilers to read now.
