(Warning:  At around the 20 minute mark, there are some spoilers, so if you haven’t read the book and can’t stand having a few details spoiled for you, I would suggest stopping there.  That said, I don’t think the spoiler ruins the book, since what we talk about is pretty much expected to happen, but I didn’t want anyone being pissed at us for not letting you know that some details are given out during the interview.  Either way, you should check out the book, because it’s really good.)
