Forget food in _Evil Guest_; anyone else notice how many exotic shades of off-white through light-brown (or perhaps I should say birch through caffe-latte) are mentioned? What's up with that? (if this has been discussed before, I'm sorry--I've been trying NOT to read _EG_ posts until I got a chance to read the book, which I now have)<br>

And is there agreement on what sort of beast-woman Cassie *is*? I like "Robin" because of the red plumage, the "the alien food isn't *really* worms", and of course the execrable Batman-cub joke. I don't think it's the right guess, though.<br>
