As with everyone else I highly enjoyed this book and its companion Year of the Flood. There was just one niggling thing that bugged me about it and I'm wondering if it bugged anyone else? Rather than post it blatantly I will hide it in "spoilers" since, if you haven't read the books my pointing it out to you will make you notice it too and it may lessen your enjoyment. I did this once to my friend when she was reading A Million Tiny Pieces and I pointed out how annoying it was that he kept putting words in caps as if they had some special significance when they didn't. Very juvenile. In case anyone who has not read that book is now unfortunately subject to picking up on this annoying "literary" device when they make the attempt, I don't feel sorry at all about this one. It's a horrible book and deserves to be disliked
(okay JMHO). Now back to secretly nitpicking O&C and YOTF which are good books and deserve to be liked (also MHO).
