Angie as conscious...

The storyline has an amazing quality. It really could've been the event of the year in the Marvel universe.

I really enjoyed the "I killed tomorrow" story. Cleverly written, fun to read story with a focus on Peter Parker.

Lovin' it!

i never give up on books, but this just couldn't hold my interest. Too much romance, too little sci-fi.

Mystery/Sci-Fi/Romance...it's one heck of a combination, but heavier on the Romance than I'd like, and lighter on the Sci-Fi.

"In our case, the heirloom turkeys are not just large birds, but symbols of a precarious hold on a vanishing honesty."

"You can taste our dirt."

"The US middle class appears more specifically concerned about exploited Asian factory workers."

"Buying your goods from local businesses rather than national chains generates about three times as much money for your local economy."

"With carrots you never know what you've got until you grab them by the green hair and tug them up."

"...in our own nation, we export 1.1 tons of potatoes, while importing 1.4 million tons."

"You'd think we cared more about the idea of what we're eating than about what we're eating."

A quick read, almost a cozy due to the setting, but the main character is so thoroughly disliked in her Cotswalds village (and the world at large), that I never got cozy.
