He wasn't amazing, I'm sorry to say. He was near the end of his tour so he was a little tired...but he was funny, and an easy talker. No hesitation. He also knew how to speak to teens. Was pretty good about answering questions, though most of them were from fat chicks wanting Alek for themselves regarding Alek and Deryn's post-Goliath romance life. Ate up all my question time.
