I literally dropped the book, I was laughing so hard. It's the bit in the antique market where a woman tries to sell Connor something for his girlfriend; Connor's response to Simon's embarrassment was such a little throwaway line, but so damn funny!K.C.

But I'm learning... <BR/><BR/>Funny, I didn't read or befriend Jim Butcher til after I had finished book one, and now I joke with him where things we are doing overlap... but I do love his sense of humor he puts in his work.<BR/><BR/>That, and I'd kill for his hair....Anton Strouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13100755422183602584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034944370161032319.post-41232653415221393692008-08-07T18:36:00.000-04:002008-08-07T18:36:00.000-04:00Oh damn!

I'm thinking we both post on Absolute Write.<BR/><BR/>If it makes you feel less wounded (and furious), I'm enjoying the second half of the book a lot more than the first half. Maybe it just took me a while to get into it and stop tarring it with the same brush as Jim Butcher's novels. And I KNOW my brother is going to eat this book up; I'm seeing him tomorrow, so I'll give him my copy (I plan to finish reading it tonight) and I guarantee he'll be a fan for life.<BR/><BR/>Hey, I'd give anything to swap places with you and have a shiny new book out with Ace. Even if you said snarky things about it. :)K.C.
