Abe?
Any reason Abe isn't in the character list? Daniel's parents are pretty important to the novel, too, but certainly Abe should be in the list if Dusty is?

 * Why is there no mention of Susan cashing in her stock options? Her becoming very wealthy (even if not an actual millionaire) is at least as relevant as Bugs "coming out of the closet".--Peter Knutsen 09:24, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Ethan
The book strongly suggests, but doesn't explicitly say, that the surgery on Ethan's back was from skin cancer, e.g. he posits that the problems were the end result of "a mole gone bad" iirc. The chemo, then, isn't a new development, from the reader's perspective, but a continuation of the earlier plot point. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.255.113.61 (talk) 14:12, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Underwood/Underhill
Did anyone else happen to notice that, on p. 279, Michael addressed Daniel's father as Mr. Underhill, and not his correct name, Mr. Underwood? There seems to be no indication that Mr. Coupland did this on purpose, and since we're nearing the last quarter of the book by this point, you'd think that Michael would know Mr. Underwood's real last name by now. I thought it was interesting that Mr. Coupland or his editor(s) didn't catch that, unless there was a reason for it that I didn't catch on to. I'm not too good at reading into things, so did I miss something somewhere? Valshotz (talk) 19:05, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
