cyranoOkay, so y'all remember (because you hung on its every word and those words seared themselves into your collective brains) my review of Mira Grant's "Feed", right?
Omigodomigodomigod!!! Okay, okay, so in my review (which may or may not actually work but it's on Goodreads and not hard to find okay?) I said
My one disappointment is the antagonist; in a conspiracy plot, he's not just the obvious choice but essentially the *only* choice. At least he doesn't eat kittens--he just beats them to death. His behaviour seems poorly motivated and abrupt, and my hope is that in later books they explain that he was radio-controlled and the connection was faulty.
That was my one disappointment. Right there. srsly.
So I'm reading "Deadline", the second of the trilogy. And I come to I shit you not the following passage verfuckingbatim:
Mahir, meanwhile, was gaping. "You mean.... I always thought he was a bit overblown at the end, a bit too much of a movie-reel villain. That was *intentional*?"
"No need to look for shades of grey when an absolute black-and-white is right in front of you," said [spoiler] reasonably. "We offered you a perfect bad guy, with no motives to question and no thought required. You were just too damn dumb to take it."
I.... I just.... And I.... You....
FUCK.
