Post 'Rant" Reviews, Articles & Interviews Here
Hey guys,
Something I want to try and do this time around with the release of 'Rant', Chuck's next novel, is recruit your help in gathering all the media that surfaces along with this book. Now, I've done this in the past too, but we've never had one place to store it all before.
This time we do. This thread will act as the archive for any links, reviews, appearance blurbs, etc that you find related to 'Rant'. This will make my job of updating the actual Media page on this site that much easier and thorough.
Now I know that reviews of 'Rant' have already begun appearing on the net. So let's get started. Anyone who has the links, go ahead and start posting them. You can combine multiple links in one post, but please be clear and accurate with your description of the link. And most importantly, make sure the address of the URL is correct.
Thanks, all!

Someone with some Photoshop/computer skills should make a wallpaper with the [I]Rant[/I] cover art. Just like the cover design on with a white background, maybe a black one too. 1024x768 please.
A wallpaper would be nice.

The New York Times is a pretentious piece of shit publication that likes to think it is the be-all, end-all of journalism. I take nothing it says seriously.

I think you've reposted that review now enough times on here for it to be qualified for the NY Times bestseller list

that may be, but as an author trying to sell books and reach a different crowd (expand his market) a positive review from the nyt is pretty important.

I love the structure of you review. It's nice to see the format of a review in a different way than the standard, overview-summary-personal conclusion formula.
I don't know if anyone has put this link up yet.

It's a nice interview with Chuck that I stumbled upon.
It was kew.

Rant was the most captivating read I've had since Ender's Game

And ready for plucking
You're sixteen
And ready for high school.

"The future you have tomorrow won't be the same future you had yesterday." Did anyone else notice that the car salesman sitting next to Chester on the plane says the same thing at the beginning of the book? Is that supposed to mean something?
