I bet they are. We all know that nerds hold grudges. Personally, I'm thinking we will hear the end of the series about 2 days after the release.

Honestly, I tend to go into a reading coma, where I do very little other than read for like a day and a half, two days. I can finish a good book in that time (unless it was written by Robert Jordan), and I usually get to the end before anyone can ruin it for me.

I also avoid the internet when I'm reading, so I don't have anyone who flipped open to the end and just blurts out the ending to worry about.

Oh, I think we are talking Cultural Phenomena with this one. You won't be able to avoid hearing about it. Mark my words.

Yeah, but if I read it before anyone else can ruin it, I'll be fine! So I'll cut myself off from the entire world while I finish the book, and then no matter what anyone says, I'll already know what happens...

That might work. Personally, I am going to have to wait for the paperback edition to come out before I read it. I have all the others in PB and I hate to ruin a set.

You might want to avoid this thread after the books comes out then, because we will be discussing frustrations and anger about the ending.

I own the first 5 books, but I haven't finished the 4th one yet.  I kinda lost interest in it.  It seems the books kept getting longer and longer, and I don't really have the time to spend reading over a thousand pages...although if it was Shadowrun, I can always sacrifce some sleep for that!!!   ;D

My favortie was book 6. It got really dark and nasty in that one, and you got the backstory on Voldomort, which was dreadfully lacking in all of the other books.

My family was way into the series, but I think once they got heavily involved in WoW their interest died out.  They have all the books, as well as on CD...so on those long rides to work they could listen to them.  But I don't know if they are getting the last one or not.

Really?
Well, optimism might be rewarded, so might still be a chance for you.

Mind you, I'm curious... firend?
Some sort of Fiend? Fire entity? or?
