We had quite the conversations around the office among those of us who read it early. (It was holiday time in retail, however, so I don't exactly recall the comments.)
I think most of us thought it was incredibly well written - every word had a purpose. We did have some different ideas, however, about exactly what happened.
I would definitely go pick up more of his work if I were you.
