- wiredfool 5y agoThere's one scene or so in each one of his books that's just too much for me. I just don't need to donate brainspace to that sort of thing. (Use of Weapons has one, Song of Stone too.) I like 80% of his work, 15% is a pointless depressing slog, and the other 5% is just too much for me.
- bewaretheirs 5y agoThat confirms my decision to abandon reading the series after I hit a spot like that in Player.
- DylanSp 5y agoYeah, that was just...out-of-nowhere gruesomeness.
- wishinghand 5y agoI guess I just took it as another possibility in a society of nearly infinite ones. I did use material from that encounter in running a horror RPG, so in a way I'm kind of thankful for it.
