The only problem is that her new reviews are littered with the snark that
became so common on this usenet newsgroup before everyone left.

But, uh, the snark is so.. snarktastic. It's really a great re-read.

Btw, as I recall, everyone left the newsgroup when those teenagers
started setting up on the lawn..

May have to re-read the books myself, before the next one comes out.
By the way, I'd be very surprised if it is out in November.

And if *that* should turn out to be the case, I'd be pretty much
stunned.

Mind you, he did opt to break the story into three, so maybe the first
part *is* nearly done. Or, in this case, what? Done about three months
ago?

I think I'm too used to waiting for new books. This is unnerving me.
I'm not ready!

According to Brandon's blog, the first section is done, finished,
complete and ready for its release (aside from whatever Tor and/or
Orbit have to do - it was turned in back in April). The second one he
says is about 2/3 done (by his expected wordcount, not necessarily
edited).

It is in fact fairly good-quality snark. She does have decided opinions about
some stuff... but she makes it clear that these ARE her opinions. The comment
crowd is a fairly fantastic bunch ...

... and contains some of the old-timers.
