No wonder the book is so good. I don't remember any weapons being included in it though. A lot of the main character's powers are internal.serendipity_vivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07156013023056026525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963292547354990076.post-73501747507798174502010-12-16T21:26:15.083+00:002010-12-16T21:26:15.083+00:00This book was handed to me at BEA but I gave it aw...This book was handed to me at BEA but I gave it away because it didn't sound at all interesting to me. Later I found out this is part of James Frey's fiction factory stuff intended to make money (movie rights were sold before the book was written, descriptions of weapons were put in the book just so they could make toys and sell them, etc) which turned me off this book even further. I'm glad to hear it was good, though. I know i won't read it, but I'm glad you enjoyed the book!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963292547354990076.post-76029023150994424642010-12-16T20:38:14.859+00:002010-12-16T20:38:14.859+00:00I read something about the true author of the book...I read something about the true author of the book and how another guy had used him and taken all the credit, so not coolBlodeueddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435479623560871881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963292547354990076.post-91501463964629439532010-12-16T20:33:46.370+00:002010-12-16T20:33:46.370+00:00I'm normally into that kind of book either, bu...I'm normally into that kind of book either, but your enthusiasm makes me want to read this one.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.com
