I really can't remember reading any truly negative reviews apart from this one.
Maybe it's another part of the idea that you only grow to love the books when you re-read them? I guess I'd agree that the shift is pretty different - but um, I did a terrible thing on my first reading and read some of the ending before the middle so I knew that something was coming. :D So I was anticipating something whilst I was reading the middle.
I dunno, could you call it a story in two parts almost? No one seems to get the lovely hints on the first reading, and Gen's double meanings only become noticable (and fun) the second time around. I guess the ending could seem a bit random, I just don't remember finding it that way.

But I'm rambling now too. :) *shuts up*
