I agree. Larry, like Jason and a bunch of other people, got his copy because of the work he does. Tom Send a noteboard - 20/10/2010 05:41:02 AM
If someone doesn't like that, they can go out and start a blog and do their best to provide clear and precise reviews of hundreds of books in the genre, get noticed and have the opportunity to be asked to write advance reviews without spoilers.

Larry signed a confidentiality agreement that he breaches at his peril. It would probably be the end of getting advance review copies of books and certainly would damage his reputation.

He went a lot farther than he probably felt comfortable to let people know, essentially, that they are only going to wait two more weeks (strike that, 13 days) to find out Asmodean's killer, not some 18 months. I'm wondering if Demandred's identity is also disclosed but I'm sure as Hell not going to ask Larry at this point after the shitstorm that got stirred up as a result of him trying to give us a bit of info without breaching his agreement.

If the result is that he sounds cryptic, then well, I guess we have to wait a while. 99% of us, if not more, will likely survive long enough to read the book.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
