Not in the least. I have to say that loathe as I am to admit it I actually had the cheasiest most rediculous grin on my face when I turned to that last page and I think I might have actually made an audible comment or two. I don't usually get that excited about books unless they REALLY impress me and though I have been frustrated with the delays on this book I felt that this one page was worth the wait. I can't wait to see what Johns is going to do with Rebirth even more now.
