Re: Doug Tennapel

I do find his pacing can sometimes be too fast (which explains the rushed
relationship). He has gotten a lot better at the pacing though. Have you
read the others yet?

I liked it overall...the crazy mish mash of stuff really worked well for me.
I did find a few moments of dialog felt stiff, specifically when he had the
father making "a point".  But those moments were few and far between (I
liked the whole "parasite Corp"- very Green Lantern).  He did a great job of
planting seeds that paid off in the end.  And I like the sense of humor.  My
biggest criticism is the romance.  It did not feel earned.  He talks about
terrible he and the others were to her...and all he has to say is "gee,
sorry I was so mean?" and she swoons?  Not buying that.  Once the
relationship is going, it is enjoyable...it just seemed he won the heart of
the girl far too easily.  :)

It was an enjoyable read...glad I picked it up.

He scratches an itch I didn't know I had. He writes / draws with 
reckless
abandon, fills his stories with the zaniest combination of elements 
(which
all somehow work in the end) and yet maintains a candor and a redemption
that totally works for me. He makes me want to be a bolder writer.
