Go for it. I've been telling EUOL you should read it.

This leads me to read more books that you've reviewed, and I just don't have the time to keep doing that. I already know that I'm gonna find a copy of Doppelganger and read it, using time I should be spending on homework or a social life. So, clearly, you need to stop reviewing books, or start having really bad taste in them. I need my time back!
;D

Oh wait. No I'm not.

Post by: Harbinger on May 14, 2007, 01:12:29 AM: Well, at least let me know whether this is part of a series. I recently finished Kitty Takes a Holiday and The Ghost Brigades, and am axiously awaiting their sequels. I want to know ahead of time whether I'll be waiting to see how events unfold at the end of this one.

It makes me SO happy that you're reading the Kitty books. YAY! I just read Kitty Takes a Holiday, and need to write a review of it soon.

Post by: Fellfrosch on May 24, 2007, 03:37:48 PM: I read Doppelganger yesterday. I liked it for the most part, but it really started to fall apart toward the end--the characterizations started to unravel, and it eventually became obvious that the plot wasn't going anywhere. It's a fascinating idea, though, and the early stuff was really good.
