you ever feel like you've been cheated?
I finished reading Y the Last Man and I'm disappointed. I'm not going to spoiler's it. I think last summer or fall I sat down and read the entire run straight through. Right up to book 9. It was great and I was hooked midway through book 2. The comparisons to a really good tv series were fair. It read like a tv series. It was smart and witty. The intercutting between scenes was masterful. It also began to end like a tv series. One that overstayed it's welcome. Book 6 or 7 it started to meander. By book 8 Vaughn was milking it. One could argue that it was sooner than that. I got book 10 from the library. Why? More ribbing about how the world is devoid of men? No. Curiosity I guess, from a writing standpoint. Did anyone feel like the epilogue bit was unneccessary? I sure did. The story had a nice twist, though it took way too long to get there, then he fucks it up with a half assed epilogue that takes the piss right out of it.
I'm looking for the movie adaptation to be a tighter version of this series. Much like V for Vendetta.
