Taking most of the day off, since my right hand is getting sore. Having never had this problem before, it's pretty annoying but there isn't all that much I can really do about it save deal.
Plot wise, some characters are a little different than the 2007 version (only to be expected: this novel shares the title and not much else). Jesse is reaching a state of neurotic confusion, however, and Cody is slowly reaching the "I want revenge" stage of things.
However, only 3 people have died in it (and 6 prior to the novel's start, plus Cody's parents earlier). Technically, one person who had yet to show up has also died as well, but it is a far less crazy body count than version 1.0 and the 2.0 edit had. It's also a far darker story, though Winter keeps injecting humour into it, and has been called on his reasons for that at least once by Cody.
Currently, Cody is about to learn about his parents and what they did for a living and Jesse has been kidnapped by Saunders to be used to heal some very wealthy and powerful older men (at least, as far as Saunders knows). Which leaves Jesse's cousin to, somehow, try and find and save him, quite likely with the aid of Winter, if she can forgive him for trying to break her mind.
The things we never plot often end up turning out to be the most fun :)
