I'm 55 pages in, and was thinking about doing a chapter 1 summary, but I'm starting to think there isn't going to be a chapter 2!
This book is really good. I've seen most of the movie on cable (not the beginning or the end), and so far it reminds me a lot of the movie. It's definitely cheezy (anything with giant bats and giant snakes is unvariably cheezy), but I like it a lot.
_________________ Danlo felt the growling emptiness of his belly and the terrible screaming hunger of every cell of his body. He remembered a word, then, waashkelay, which meant simply "meat hunger." He realized that on some deep level, the grains and pulses and other vegetable foods that he had eaten for so many years had never truly satisfied him. Always, buried in the tissues of his heart and belly, there had burned a deep desire to consume the meat of another animal and to taste the marvelous tang of blood once more. War in Heaven, p. 387.
