Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)

B A & A here.I think it was a really good read.
The answer is within

AAC. The story drove me to keep reading this book, the characters were so well done, and yet the ending left me so cold I was practically screaming "Oh come on! This is such bullshit man!! This? 1100 pages and this is how it ends?? Really? Damn."

Haven't read.
It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.
The hands of the many must join as one.
And together we'll cross the river.

Does whatever a spiderman does.

Still waiting for the paperback to come out...

I felt the story was good but the ending a cop out...kinda like the "dream ending" to "Who Shot JR."
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
Actually the dream ending was ending to the "Oh my God, Bobby Ewing's dead, but a year later, the actor that plays him wants to come back!" story.Originally Posted by Jon
Anyway, most probably know what I think of this book.
AAB.
As others have said, the ending was sub-par in my opinion. Apart from that, I thought it was fantastic. Really wish he had expanded on the aliens instead of tacking them on at the end.
Also, when I saw the symbol on the machine I was like "WTFFFFFF".
ABA from me. Most of the characters annoyed me. The kids (especially Ollie) were the only ones that I wanted to see get a happy ending. And I know that I'm in the minority when I say this but I thought that the ending wasn't at all disappointing.
And Jean, I just gotta ask, how does a B+++ end up ranking higher than an A--?

Missed the poll. But grade would have been AAB.

BA?
Yet to finish it, so..
It's all the matter of natural speech versus numeric grading; it may result in those minute paradoxes.
