I didn't think I'd get this in time but somehow being 4th in line at the library paid off quick. I'm glad to see it opens talking about poop. All real literature does.

About halfway through now, and I've found it quite enjoyable. Regarding the spoilered bit from Franchescando and Down With People, I'm really curious as to what the alternate reading of that is. I came away with the same impression.

And I finished this last night. Overall my favorite part was probably Lincoln's first visit and the responses from the ghosts.. I wasn't so sure of the change in Lincoln. Everyone has sorrow, therefore we need to kill these guys better, harder, faster. That struck me as a bit of a stretch, though I don't think it matters. this was a good book and I really enjoyed it.

Franchescanado posted:I mean, he does get propelled by the spirit of a black man who's out for revenge entering his body. I feel like the degree of influence is a pretty open question there.

Mel Mudkiper posted:I mean, to be fair, the opinions Lincoln has when he leaves the graveyard are the literal expressed opinions of Lincoln during the Civil War There's a couple responses here. First, from what little I've read about it, that wasn't so much his thinking at the time of Willie's death. Generally though, I think that's not really relevant to whether that change is justified by the narrative. I mean, I understand that it has to be that, you can't have a different outcome there and have it consistent with the rest, but it seemed sudden and not really supported to that point.
