I liken it somehow to Melinda's appearance in Halse's Catalyst - we knew then that she was ok - that her story was, not over exactly, but that she had survived the worse and moved on. Cal survived the hardest part, and the conclusion of this Armageddon belonged to someone else. I'm ok with that.Jackie Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11142876691306805769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19660349.post-71057469792311284392006-10-25T15:57:00.000-07:002006-10-25T15:57:00.000-07:00I adored Peeps and I really, really, really liked ...I adored <i>Peeps</i> and I really, really, really liked <i>The Last Days</i>.

I really enjoyed...First of all, Westerfeld = good.<br /><br />I really enjoyed Peeps. I thought it was well-researched, witty, creative, funny, and engaging.<br /><br />I liked The Last Days. It wasn't Peeps. It had different narrators, a different edge, a different goal - and it was a good story on its own, but I was waiting for Cal. I felt like I was on a subway bench, waiting to catch the train, while someone decent was talking to me, but I was too busy checking my watch and tapping my foot impatiently to be "really listening" (thanks, Buffy) to Minerva and crew.
