Remember that I said I'd get back to you about whether Swan Song had a happy ending or not? Well, here's my verdict: I'm not ever going to know. I continued with the book for as long as I could, but McCammon piled on disturbing scene after disturbing scene after disturbing scene, and finally, I called it quits. I can read and enjoy dark- I mean, I love Dexter, after all. But there's a jolly sense of depraved humor about Dex and there isn't even a trace in Swan Song to help leaven the... well... I'm not going to put those scenes in your head. It's going to take me a long time to get them out of mine.
I'm not sure what I'm going to read next, but you can be sure it'll have some chuckles.

Although I Love, Love, Love your blog, I rarely comment. Had to today, though, to tell you that even if Swan Song disappoints you, you have got to read McCameron's book Boy's Life. It is my favorite of his by far. I don't know why more people haven't heard of it. I have read it several times, and it always entertains.
Okay Jan, I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the recommendation.
