So, I just finished Steelheart myself, and what a great ride it was!

I personally was very wrong, thinking that his weakness had something to do with his powers working on dead tissue, but not live tissue. I remember the book specifically saying that the barrel of the gun shot by David's father was sticking into the ashes of the dead security guard. Or, I thought the weakness could have been him being shot through another person or Epic. Maybe I'm just really morbid!

I thought the same, that he'd shot through the first guy so that's why it worked, or because it had blood on the bullet.

Overall, I enjoyed this, but the fake-swearing really got to me. "Idiot" wouldn't have gone out of circulation that fast...

I guess if the steel goes down as far as he says, possibly miles, it would maintain a steady, if somewhat cool, temperature, the whole place basically being one giant heatsink. Maybe geothermal, drawing heat up from the center of the earth.

That said, I may have put more thought into that than Sanderson himself and we should all just agree it's magic.

Misfits did it pretty well.
