In my workplace, on the 2nd floor, the fiction floor, I've stood aghast as desperate Paul Wilson addicts roll on the floor, sobbing and snotting, even reaching for a Joe Konrath novel to ease their agony. Just like a poor fucked-up junkie plunging a spike full of Drano into his arm. Not a pretty sight.

I don't know about anyone else, but once I see imagery from a movie those images stick in my mind while reading about the same character.

Well not quite, I'm actually at work, i work at a used bookstore, and did have to stop every once in a long while for a customer. Oh, and I did have to stop a few times to apply several pieces of scotch tape in some places. The copy of this book that I found on Ebay came to me in horrible condition.
Amazing, this one for some reason, maybe even more than The Tomb, seems to me like it would be perfect for a film adaption. Maybe even a very successful one due to the constant interest in medical dramas (such as Grey's Anatomy) since its basically a drama with supernatural threads. The ending was very unexpected to me, I was greatly impressed with the whole novel, and I am curious to see how this book ties in with the remaining books in the Adversary Cycle.
Well, I'm off to start Reborn, hopefully business will continue to be slow today, because all I wanna do is keep reading these books! I fear these books may have an impact on my personal life and hygiene if they continue to be as terrific as the ones I've already read. :eek:

Sleep and food are over-rated sometimes!
