I don't really have a favorite part because it was how the book came together that I enjoyed so much. I loved how the action just kept going at the end. They would start to wrap something up then a whole new problem would arise.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
~ Howard Phillips Lovecraft
Call me sick and twisted, but mine is Jack getting revenge on the scumbag who tossed the cinder block; the single sweetest moment of poetic justice it has been my pleasure to read.

Mine was when Jack elects to torch Kusum with the flamethrower (very awesome FPW) rather than fight him hand to hand...Jack's only concern is Vicky, let Kusum have his honor
With you there, Mitch. "I lied." Hee-hee! But here's a question: can a madman have honor? (And I think Kusum was utterly bugfuck nuts.)

I mean, if the guy was willing to feed a little girl to a bunch of the coolest monsters ever commited to the page, how honorable can he possibly be. Plus he nailed his sister and a Rakosh. Gross.
mitch Wrote:amen to that...Jack's personal code of ethics is beyond reproach
C'mon, Mitch. Do you mind ponying up for cops, firemen, teachers, and our armed forces? No? Me neither. Jack does. He's a parasite.

But at least it wasn't a threesome.

I don't know if I'd call him a parasite though, considering that he doesn't seem to ask anything of those people. But honestly, if we could choose to pay taxes, how many people would? I guess the whole life in the shadows thing appeals to a part of me.
