Hello all! It’s Pamela again, after Dean gave me the month off last month. Well done, Dean! This was a low-key meeting tonight – mainly because we did not know the book was out of print and the title was remarkably similar to other Lackey books in her arsenal. We roundly decided that as a piece of fluff it was certainly enjoyable. Dean said that he was quite ready to hate this book and eviscerate it but by the end “you just can’t stay mad at this thing.” He even had a complex “Kevin is a paranoid narcissist” theory going (for which he took copious notes) but was unable to follow through. Everybody is just so darn pleasant!
We all, Dave included, cocked our heads at the last paragraph:
“‘That’s that,’ Tich’ki said in satisfaction. ‘All the loose ends are nicely tied up. All right, everyone, enough talk. We’ve some heavy celebrating to do!'”
THE END.
(OR IS IT?)
YES.
(BUT ARE YOU SURE??)
YES.
Happy First Anniversary, everybody! And how encouraging that our first book of the year was a triumphant tour de force of book writing. Everyone thought it was AWESOME. The end.
Really.
Okay no. January’s book was one of most polarizing reads I think this group has ever encountered. I even called in reinforcements by way of Brian (good job Brian!) to back up my side. Dave’s letter was firmly in the anti-Moon camp, but also hilarious (I think I saw Kat willing herself to not shoot coffee out her nose during some of the reading) so I thought I would “borrow” heavily from that. Ahem:
