The sticker on the front of my copy reads " We can't fake it. NZ blood needs you". A piece of clever placement advertising, and a comment perhaps on the success of this series that they think we'll all go out and donate after reading the book. I wonder if they have it on the tv version as well!

But this one ends on a surprising downer.
