But how do you know if a "spoiler" is real or not? Any idiot can make up a handful of plot points and post them on a webpage somewhere. Real or not? You don't know. (The person who posted a scan of several pages was more clever, of course.) So, if you don't know a spoiler is real, then you don't know if it is a spoiler.

I guess the real problem is that if the spoiler consists of seveal sentences and, as you're reading, you notice that the first few are exactly correct.

Interesting.

In any case, I'd love to hear a plot summary after you've read it. Your plot summary would probably be more interesting than the book itself, since you'll provide context as well as plot.

Good luck staying clean for the week.
