I think the two things I enjoyed most were your off-beat descriptions of some of the fairy tale creatures (redneck Elves, Headbanger Orcs.what's next? Italian leprechauns?), and the relationship between the Old Man and 'Z'. As much as I tried, I did not want to put the book down. There were a couple of great surprises in there and some fantastic story-telling. Eh, who cares? I just wanted to see how the book ends. I can't critique it any more than the next guy, except to say I did see the prophecy coming along with the rest of you guys. It's not every day that someone writes about a big ol' hoss who goes out and delivers monster justice at the end of an "Abomination." And he gets the girl to boot! Speaking for all of the 6'4" +, 275lbs 'galoots' in the world, thank you for giving us a hero we can look up to, Larry. The last one being the final Harry Potter. Williamson, to name two authors that come to mind.) This was the first book in a while that I could not put down and stayed up all night reading. Mainly military sci-fi, fantasy, pro-2nd, etc. I've already lent the book out, so I can't refer to it to see if anything else catches my eye. I kind of just rambled through what I remember. Will we be introduced to Mosh Pitt in MHI II? What's Franks story? Is he just stronger than Z? Is he some sort of being like Earl? From the sounds of it, that'll be covered in MHI II. (The being named after a weapon gave it away.) The mom being a vampire definitely caught me off guard, and the notes on the porch at the end were amusing and a great way to close that storyline. I was able to guess that the prophecy was referring to him as soon as I read it. I was pretty sure good would triumph and the guy would get the girl, etc. MHI felt like a big dysfunctional but caring family. I really enjoyed the diversity of characters.

(I remember reading one series where each gun had a paragraph plus description and it really detracted from the story.) I enjoyed the diverse weaponry and can dream about building my own Abomination. I was a bit concerned that the descriptions might be preachy, but that wasn't the case at all. The queen being on disability was (unable to describe how funny I found that.) I was laughing so hard I couldn't read at the Enchanted Forest Trailer Park.
Once again, if you keep reading, there will be spoilers posted, so if you haven't read MHI, and you want to, STOP.
So, now that's out of the way, questions, comments? What did you guys like? Characters? Dialog? Any good surprises? Twists? Everybody who didn't die in MHI will be back. There is a lot more about Earl, and his background. The history of MHI, and its main participants will be more fully explained. And yes, you know how well that is going to go. gov wants to take this cult down, so they assign Agent Franks to be Owen's bodyguard. Now, for those that have read it, and have been asking me, yes, there is an MHI II. So warning to folks that haven't read it yet, there will be SPOILERS A bunch of folks have started threads with reviews, but nobody wants to post details, because there will be spoilers. I'm starting this thread so we can discuss my (very gun related) book.
