Final reaction

Well we have finished the book and I am sad that this was the end but man was the last reading insane! I do think it was nuts how the lieutenant killed himself and how he would have been able to benefit from the counterfeit medicine operation that was going on and maybe that would have prevented the inhalation of the grenade that killed him. From there we follow our groups unfortunate last mission into Zone One and man was it eventful. If only Gary would have just given the gypsy lady one reassured shot he might have been able to keep his finger and not die so tragically. Finally though all of the quick sentences where Mark kept saying its bleeding through came to light with Gary’s bite and it was interesting to see the skell sit there as long as it did before attacking Gary. Then the truth really came out though with Marks return to Won Ton for medicine and the breaking of the wall as he said civilizations always fall no mater how good the defenses. Miss Macy really opens up telling the soldiers that her visit was a pure publicity stunt and how there was no summit but whilst reading I had a feeling that in the end that would have been the case. It saddened me though not to know what happened to Caitlyn after she ran from the gypsy holdup. In the end though it crazy to see Mark somewhat concern his fear of swimming it would have been better to swim in water not an ocean of the dead.
