No one I knew in high school was smart enough to pull any of these plotlines off (hello, "Gimme a Kiss", "Fall Into Darkness", "Last Act", just to name a few). We're not judging these stories with the Poet Laureate prize in mind, are we?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690823.post-45158599186998795962011-08-13T18:31:26.885-05:002011-08-13T18:31:26.885-05:00The heartburn is never mentioned again, so yeah, i...The heartburn is never mentioned again, so yeah, it's an odd detail. Maybe it shows how stressed out "Dust" is? Also, no one ever calls him Dust, they just call him Dusty, so Dust isn't much of a nickname. Finally, isn't Dusty already a nickname for Dustin?<br /><br />This book is totally heading to you and R. next so that you can enjoy the full experience.Spacebeerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05765571656699128633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7690823.post-83194762604743569722011-08-13T18:11:38.286-05:002011-08-13T18:11:38.286-05:00Okay, yeah.

Dusty appears to be Helen Slater and Scarlett Johanssen's evil, angelic-haired love child. Second, I particularly like that Dusty's heartburn is part of the description. Does that lead to some important plot point? Was Himmler known for heartburn? Why does Pike tell us about that? Similarly, why does he feel the need to state that Dusty has the totally surprising nickname "Dust"? Third, Himmler? Really? <br /><br />To sum up my feelings about this review - Wow.Corienoreply@blogger.com
