Finished at 8:00 AM, and NO, I was not in nightowl mode! I am SOOOO thankful I waited until my day off to get it because my brain is still fried, and all because you couldn't have the decency to put in a break in the action so I could go to bed.<br /><br />Warning, folks, do NOT plan to operate heavy machinery within 48 hours of reading this book because YOU CANNOT PUT IT DOWN. Cancel any appointments which require a shower beforehand too. And be careful not to eat anything greasy before starting to read or you may spend the last few hours sitting on the toilet because you're too afraid you might accidentally wipe with the wrong hand. (OTOH, this book makes for a great diet because you can't even stop to eat!) Do not expect yoru significant other to understand, simply get them their own copy of the book so they don't pester you.<br /><br />I don't know how you can live with yourself, Ed. Doing this to us. Is this all part of some nefarious plot to make us read the rest of your books? Because as this series has progressed, it's gotten better and better. I'm sure you can justifiably shove it in Larry's face and say, "See!? The more of this series you let me write, the better it got!"<br /><br />Watch out, man, cuz if I ever see you, I'm liable to drag you kicking and screaming into the nearest refreshment establishment and force you to drink your weight in your beverage of choice and then steal your computer.Jaycee Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17643340016892988682noreply@blogger.com
