ROGER??? EFFING ROGER???
Ok, I haven't really finished Part 1 yet. I'm still on Ch. 11. But I got a little carried away and started skimming ahead (even though I forced myself for so long not to do so). But seriously...
ROGER??? REALLY?
WTF.

That was pretty much my reaction too. Other people have claimed to have seen that scenario coming, but it totally took me by surprise.

I probably should have guessed it. I mean, we knew it wasn't Covenant. And Lord Foul would have been too obvious. A Raver? Already been there. And Kastenessen wouldn't make much sense.
I guess Roger was the only possible character. But still, I wasn't really expecting it since it just seems so out there... I mean...ROGER???

Tut tut. You shouldn't skim.
But, eh. I didn't figure out it was Roger either.

Still, you really should learn to read a little faster. It's already been 7 months since FR's release!

According this topic, I read Part 1 of Runes in 9 months. So at 7 months, I'm blazing!

At this rate, I should definitely beat my one-year record for Runes.-jay

I once p'offed a date because i made a wedge of cheese cake last for over 10 minutes. I savored every thin slice of it. It was delicious. Perhaps she was jealous.

If she was a positive thinker you were giving her a clear indication of good times ahead!
Yeah, ahead.

Did you pretend there was a Lormaster at the tip of this wedge?

ROFLMFAO!!!!
Soda pop.... sinuses..... oh, the agony!
But back to the topic. I knew who was really who when I read this section in the first chapter of the book:
Fatal Revenant, pg 11 wrote:
"We're here. But we aren't just here." Then he sighed. "There's no good way to explain it. You don't have the experience to understand it." His brief smile reminded her that she had rarely seen such an expression on his face. Roger had smiled at her more often. "Jeremiah is here, but Foul still has him. I'm here, but I'm still part of the Arch of Time."
That pretty much did it for me. But, how Roger could look like Thomas, never mind know as much as he knew about the land, was beyond me. But it DOES make sense that Roger didn't know how Thomas had earned that scar on his forehead.... his Elohim acquired knowledge didn't give him insight to happenings in the real world; Roger had no idea that Thomas had slipped and hit his head on the corner of the bathroom sink....

Wow. I guess I just don't get on the board as much as I should. Jay, if you don't mind my asking, why do you wait so long?
