Did you love Fledgling by Octavia Butler? Hated it? Seen an interesting article about the book? Felt the book was a victim to superfluous commas? Loved the book, hated the cover?

Discuss it all here! Spoilers abound, enter at your own risk...

Really enjoyed this book! It's an interesting variation on the vampire legend. I liked the focus on the "science" behind the species. And for once the old amnesia plot device didn't feel hackneyed.

I enjoyed the writing style, and must hunt out more books by Octavia Butler.

Also, does it make me a bad person that I think it's funny that the Librarian got murdered as she was metaphorically skipping along singing "tra la la , at last I am happy"?
