Got it, what an awesome story! My husband laughed at the blurb on the back, thought it sounded terrible, but it was exactly the opposite. I had to seriously force myself not to read it all in one sitting...but I like this sort of book better when I take little breaks to process what's going on.

I'm busy talking it up to all my friends at UofT and will try to drag them out to the release on Thursday.

BTW, there were a couple instances of "Zeb" being spelled "Zed" near the end of the book (pg 335 & later I think). Someone probably already caught it...but I figured it couldn't hurt to mention.

Oooh, this is on my list of books I want but can't afford right now. Here's hoping I sent an email fast enough! (And that you're willing to ship them as far as Canada)

On the topic of colour-blindness, one experience with my father (who is red-green colour-blind) really made things clear to me. He came home one day with a new suit. It was a very tweedy brown plaid fabric, with a hot pink thread running through the pattern. We all expressed great surprise at his selection and it became clear that he hadn't noticed the pink thread (but was able to distinguish it once it was pointed out to him) in the same way that you might imagine not noticing a forest-green thread against a variegated brown background. The red (or pink in this case) just didn't pop out.
