[Zero]

just finished Keene's THE RISING and i can see the complaint about it being very straightforward. that said i really enjoyed it and even was late to work on friday because i HAD to finish the last chapter (which was a cliffhanger - DAMNIT!) i agree with Noct- i liked the characters and found the action moved along at a rapid clip (ok- at times a bit irrationally rapid but i can see the whole chaos and insanity leading to crazy decisions).

am off to the mall today to try and find City of The Dead - I'm also looking forward to the new Keene novel _THE GHOUL_ which should be out sometime really soon.
