Well, um, someone you know MIGHT have read it in not entirely 100% legal PDF ebook form, which he might see fit to send you if you were amenable...you know, hypothetically.
It's long for a YA book - about 350-400 pages, I think - but it goes fast, so it might be okay reading in the library too if you have a few hours and read fast.
I guess I don't understand people who like the new Anita Blake books? I mean, not only are all the awesome supporting characters from back when it was good abandoned and/or character-assassinated in favor of random new wereanimal manbiscuits with names like Micah or Requiem or Nightsong or Doodlebug, but the sex isn't even SEXY. I mean, I can deal with softcore porn if it's GOOD - I did used to read a lot of romance novels, after all - but between the new characters basically being faceless giant penises (...er, figuratively, not literally) and the fact that Anita can't go more than 30 pages without rubbing her lady-bits up against some random dude, it ends up being "oh, yawn, another sex scene."
I mean, the HORRIFIC MURDER SCENES in the books end up being sexier, because at least you don't end up with the mental image of LKH typing them one-handed, you know? D: D: D:
Though one-handed typing WOULD explain the horrific amount of typos and their/they're/your/you're mixups in the last few books...that and LKH's "I don't need no stinkin' editor" policy.
...er, sorry, that turned into way more of a rant than I meant it to. HAY WHAT ABOUT THOSE SPARKLY VIRGINAL TEEN VAMPIRES WHO LOOK LIKE MALE MODELS
