Friedman is a personal fav and I really enjoyed the trilogy. I thought the end to the final book was a little bit of an out. Perhaps the author saving her fav character. I enjoyed the tension between the main protagonists. On a second reading, the relationship took on a slightly UST feel.
Your comments about Sawyer reflect the way I felt about reading Tad Williams. It's like he spent all this time building weight and meaning into a certain character and then having them not matter. It would be like Frodo carrying the ring, but at the end of the books, the ring has no meaning or power; the power lay in something else. Kinda steals the wind from the sails.
Yeah, about Daredevil. So sad. Garner really had no chemistry w/ Affleck. And you are so right about the beginning. I was thinking, "Die, already," to the kid's old man. Kingpin is hardly on screen long enough to qualify for evil guy status. Wasted film stock.
