But seriously, the book rocked. Creepy, compelling, and damn ballsy as well. Plus (no kidding) I actually got a little misty-eyed in spots. Not that I'll ever reveal that outloud, because I'm 100% macho man.
It was a pleasure running into you in NY, Paul! You're looking good, for an older guy.

I thought you did a great job with Tom. Very well drawn (to say more would spoil it for folks). Gia also may be the only girlfriend in modern thriller fiction that doesn't annoy the hell out of me. I liked her, and felt for her.
While the book isn't as action-packed as some of the other RJ's, it's easily the most suspenseful. Talk about a ticking clock! And the Lilitongue creeped me out. I could picture it perfectly.
And for you guys who haven't read it yet... be prepared for some big shocks. My wife Maria couldn't believe the beginning, and she yelled at me like it was my fault.
Paul, tell her it wasn't my fault.
I agree with Marc--one of the best. It takes big risks, and pays off.
