There was a signing in Boston, but I was out of town, alas.
Fix was great. Best book of the series, I thought. In some ways (even moreso than the earlier books) it pulls a better Breaking Bad than Breaking Bad (even if the free-magic-in-drug-form plot element seems to be entirely forgotten by book three). Mainly because Paul's seemingly-good intentions seem a lot more genuine than Walter White's. (Though some of that might just be a matter of books versus television, the former generally gives a more direct look at the thoughts and feelings of a perspective character.)
Also, it has one of the best dramatic payoffs from a running joke that I've ever seen in a book.
Just got back from the signing. Turns out it was never intended to be a trilogy; the publisher first asked "That is a two-parter, right?" Ferrett said "Yesssss." Then it was, "This is a trilogy, right?" "Suuuuure...." Hence, disjointedness in reading all three.
I found many running gags, though (I've finished it). Curious to which one you referred.
