There are too many thoughts and it's too close to the end of the year. I will not be reviewing this . . . . experience. I DECLARE REVIEW AMNESTY.
[3 stars, for now; i still can't believe he stole that one climactic scene straight from Stephen King]

"Dude, I know a “borrowed” line when I see it, and I have seen LOTR: The Two Towers so many times I basically have it memorized. I feel like Legolas needs to pop in here and yell, “They’re all going to die!!” in Sindarin to really complete the effect."

"Father Callahan from 'Salem's Lot and The Dark Tower! *That's* why Gabriel and his lack of faith was feeling so familiar to me. Is anything in this book going to feel original? I know there are no new ideas, but there are ways to make ideas feel fresh. A lot of the big stuff in here isn't feeling that way."

"Sometimes I think that authors with high body counts in their books just aren't imaginative enough to find better ways to emotionally devastate their readers."
