I read this book in about 2 days. Granted, one of those days I basically read from the moment I got up until I finished the book, but still.
This is a really good conclusion to the trilogy. In Feed and Deadline, Grant established that not all the characters in the main group are going to survive. This holds true in this book as well.

It was very hard not to do that with this book, which is both a good sign for the book (ie, the characters are really well developed and I just need to know what happens!) but also not always a great sign, because it means that there are parts that are not holding up their weight.
