Well... I got the second book in the trilogy yesterday - from the public library... of course! I started reading it over lunch, continued while waiting for my Dad to have a CT scan at the hospital, squeezed in a bit more in the bathtub and then finished it off in bed (9:30 pm).It was very good - but... I have got to learn to STOP reading the last few pages of books. I still totally enjoyed the book but... lost some of the suspense as I knew what was coming and who was who.
As for the third book...I am still #5 in line for 2 copies. I might not get it by the time the series premieres on May 14 but... I am making a commitment here to NOT read the last few pages of The Last Town!
I've seen no spoilers for the third book - a problem that plagued me in the second book. I guess I figured that the ending of the second book was already wrecked, so I might as well read the last few pages but... there were still a few surprises and I kinda wrecked them. So... again... no flipping to the end for the third book!
I can't even use the "When Harry Met Sally" excuse that I am a "dark" person who reads the end of a book because I might die before I finish it and I don't want to die unsatisfied not knowing the ending (the excuse used by Harry (Billy Crystal) in the movie). I just don't do anticipation very well... or surprises. I want to know things NOW! So this will be good practice for me... if I can stand the suspense.
