More people need to know about this book.

I agree. We must spread the PR!!! (Doesn't have quite the ring BS has, does it?  :-\ Oh, well.)

I would kill to be published like Pat, but I don't envy the hype fans are pumping into his book 2. Personally, I will be satisfied with an enjoyable novel that can be slightly less awesome than book 1, and I feel that is a realistic hope and expectation. It also allows me to be blown away in the event that he goes to a whole 'nother level of awesome.
Yes, this is probably a healthier way of looking at things. And (like you said), might make the book more enjoyable.

Ohh.. Hmm I see what you're saying (and, I myself, have experienced this before). But just to play the devil's advocate here . . . don't you think certain amounts of the "hype" is realistic . . . ? since it's based off of the incredible quality of the first book which is actually just the first part of an original single book, it is reasonable to expect the rest of the story will be, if not AS amazing, then certainly more than decent.

(Do you see what I'm saying?)

That's not what I was talking about. But due to the annoyance of other posters on this thread, how bout we drop it?

Yes, the distance is a little too much for me as well.  :(

Hey if you wanna make statements and have them not be challenged even if they're nonsensical, you gotta speak up.

And if you want to end the discussion, say so, don't try and finish it with yet ANOTHER point.

Just finished To Kill a Mockingbird. I'd seen the movie before but never read the book . . . it was pretty up there. I didn't remember some of the key plot changes, either, so that was fun. Very good.

I'll be starting either The Promise or My Name Is Asher Lev next. Not sure which yet.

Can it be?  Have we really found someone who doesn't believe the government lies to us?

Tsk-tsk. What ignorance.  ::)

... anyways arguing over a point in which both parties have already decided where they stand is a moot point...further discussion serves no purpose
I disagree. People's minds can be changed. Especially with the use of statistics (sometimes).
