Crime Cabal Needs You! - Page 9

Cap'n that's a glorious review.... don't dare belittle that, it's everything I could ask it to be.

I'm very lucky that everyone has contributed such well-thought out reviews, and the sort that draw in the uninitiated! It's not easy to do in a few words.

I promise to post a review as soon as my copy arrives and I've had a chance to read it.
In the meantime I've linked it.

I'm the one who had first review post on the amazon.ca page - and I note that there's some activity going on there, as it's been updated with an actual Canadian price. Be nice if we could help Gregg out with a few more Canadian reviews

I also took to heart that advice to include "zombies" as a search term. That should work

What I get a kick out of is the "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought". Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog, the Dungeon's & Dragon's Player's Handbook, Pride and Prejudice with Zombie action...you are SO my people!

Hopefully those items also link back to the Crime Cabal.

Library Thing creator writes:

I started LibaryThing in August, 2005, while I was doing freelance web design and web development type work, and it took off within the first week or so, growing quickly ever since. When it started, it was pretty much only cataloging. The inflection point happened when I realized people were starting to use it socially. They were sending each other the URL's to their libraries and commenting on each others’ libraries - so I just started adding social features and I think that’s really what’s provided a lot of the thrust.

LibraryThing is doing something different from a standard social network, where you’re connected to people based upon friends. That's a very sort of binary way of seeing the world: you’re my friend, you’re not my friend, maybe you’re my friend but I’m not your friend. The idea behind LibraryThing is that you’re connected to people in much more complex ways. We recently added "friends" and a category we call "interesting libraries," so you can track book reviews, ratings and so forth from people you know or whose libraries you want to follow. But the books are the core of it.

Loyally,

My copy arrived yesterday (much sooner than the mid August delivery estimate thankfully). I've posted my review to Amazon and am looking forward to rereading it at a more leisurely pace than the first time through.
Even though I knew (and kept reminding myself) that obviously both the Panda and Squirrel and associates came through unscathed as this is set during earlier seasons of the podcast, there was still an amount of suspense present that I wouldn't have thought possible prior to reading the book for the same reasons. Indeed that was my only concern about the book before reading it, how enthralling can the adventure be when we already know they make it out the other side?
I'm glad to say I really enjoyed it and am already looking forward to the next book.

The Crime Cabal:

Received, read, relished and reviewed!

My favorite part (and I don't think this is spoilery) was the description of how RP and FS could fight together without verbally communicating, how they knew when to duck, which thug to aim for, etc. It really showed their connection to each other...it was romantic, in a strange, endearing, throat-punching sort of way!
