But she always had the idea of Death being Kurt Cobain. Even back with the first book. I think when she even conceived of the idea. So that wasn't ever gonna change. He was her muse for this series.<br /><br />It does suck when the finale is a let down. Maybe as you sit with it a bit, it will grow on you? I hope so. Your review was awesome because there wasn't a single spoiler in it.

I haven't read Terry Pratchett's DEATH, so I wouldn't have that as a basis for comparison. Maybe this Death will work better for me then:) I need to read the first three for sure!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530836089087964376.post-3459568741070861242013-04-16T08:19:53.850-07:002013-04-16T08:19:53.850-07:00Aw, sorry to hear it was a bit of a letdown.

I didn't realize it was finished but I'm happy to see that it is, which makes me more eager to begin it. And when I first glanced at the cover, I thought it looked odd - but I love that you addressed that in your review. Honestly, after reading this, I do feel like I want to try and find copies of these books to read. They sound like something I'd enjoy. Thanks!
