I'm not hating the book or anything, but I think I'd like it better if I actually liked Shaun.
I like that he's very self-aware, though. He understands where his violence comes from and isn't proud of it. He's not as likable as George, though, I agree.
OK, Deadline officially rocks.
Heh, where are you?
Thanks, Rayne! It was too hard to google.
Okay, gotta say, having just hit the bit in Deathly Hallows where we see Neville again (which I had utterly forgotten from my first read--I read the entire book in one five-hour sprint and recall very little), I must share this t-shirt. It's pretty awesome.
Mary Robinette Kowal made an interesting card game to go with Shades of Milk and Honey (which I haven't read yet - has anyone here?). [link]
Also, now that I seem to have my eyes back, I can start on Feed and then Deadline. I've been so jealous of folks reading them, when I know they're waiting on my iPad for me. Also the 1/3 of Embassytown that I didn't finish before I had to give up the shiny screens.
ETA: links are helpful

Oh, Neville. You so rule.
I know that the narrative wants me to love Harry, Ron, and Hermione best. But I think my personal favorite characters are Luna, Neville, and Tonks. They're just so splendid. Weird and flawed and awesome.

Ooh, how is it? It sounds intriguing.
