THANK YOU. Number one, for the HTML lesson, and number two, for agreeing with me on that point. Considering how easy it truly is to rely on dues ex machina in genre fiction, the number of times I've wanted to throw a book down at the end is considerable. (the one exception is in a Jasper Fforde book, they actually summon Goddess at the end, but that was good because his stuff is just so wierd and entertaining).
I haven't read one of King's books in years. But his reveiws do almost always piss me off. He did an article on "dude fiction"(you know, the opposite of chick lit?) and what sticks is while he recommended Robert B. Parker as an action author, his advice to him was that the main character should "dump Susan and kill the dog." To me, some of the best books of the series stem from the things that King's ass find's boring.
But anyway, back to HG. I totally wasn't expecting everyone to come back as genetically reengineered zombies at the end. I actually had a little reservation up to that point because she hadn't been required to kill, and I thought that was kinda weak, but then throw in some monsters and I was happy.
