Gone

[cimplybe.livejournal.com]

Did anyone read it yet?

How come all of their protagonists are Jewish?

There's some definite character patterns going on, but I like how they can take something like 'the leader' or 'the funny guy' and 'the smart one' are all played off just a little differently. It almost feels like they started with a standard five-man Saturday-morning-cartoon-hero-team in the Animorphs and then said 'so how can we mess with this' just a little more and more with each series. And why does the person in the 'peacemaker' role always annoy me? Although Edilio was much cooler than both Cassie and April, he was still my least favorite FAYZ kid.

I think I still liked the Everworld team better. Though I only vaguely remember Remnants.

But what a place to leave us hanging, eh? I hope the next one comes out pretty quick. I think he said that the second one was already written and is now being edited, but I am woefully lacking in knowledge about how long the editing process takes.

Also? Awesome for having a longer book this time. The hardcover of GONE is actually big enough to smack someone with.

I think it's late and I'm getting a little punchy.
