That author uses "eeled" and "eeling" way too often to describe characters snaking through the woods. After 5 times in one book, it started to get annoying. Sure, I get it, he's trying to use something other than a snake reference like I did, but it did get distracting from the story.
EDIT: the book was one of the EMBERVERSE books, not sure which one had it 5 times, but he used the term in several of them.

I was told by an author/reviewer that squirrels are mentioned at least three times in ADWD's 1000 pages. How awesome is that?
Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.
