@th3vampan3z3l0rd It was changed to Grike solely for the USA. No one is quite sure why, as Fever Crumb states that all of that batch of the Lazarus Brigade are named after predatory birds, so Shrike (also commonly known as a butcher bird) is fairly appropriate. A grike, however, is a feature of limestone pavements, and is not appropriate.
@steampunkstan Ah, I wasn't wrong about it being changed. I always thought it was funny how non-english people I knew disliked the name of "that stalker with the wierd name". When I read the part about the lazarus brigade beiung named after birds I guessed that a grike was a kinbd of bird (didn't look it up though), so that shows you what not doing research can lead you to...
Sorry, no. Sorry, but it doesn't look like you've put much effort into this atall. And why is Shrike a barby doll? He's meant to be part man part robot!
Hester would have been much happier as a stalker.Why did you have to kill Shrike, Tom?Now she is just an ugly orphan who seeks revenge on Valentine.It would suck watching your parents get murdered.
What an epic movie! It's wierd cause my english class have literally just finished reading Mortal Engines when I stumbled across this! extremly lol worthy! haha

"you can't sell us"
"yes I can"
Best. line. Ever.
oh and it's "shrike" not "grike". although I think that it was changed for some reason when the book was sent outside england.
