But you know since you've started, you'll have to read the rest of it at least once, right? Even if there is a body count finale, which there might or might not be. I gave up trying to predict exactly what was going to happen and when in this book a long time ago and one reason I love it so much is because it keeps me on my toes.

So I guess that even if there is going to be a lot of doom & gloom (it's Vaughan, of course there will be), it'll be worth the read because of the unpredictability factor alone.
