If you've got the book and read it you can discuss it with spoilers here, please keep other threads limited to discussion on the episodes released via the web.
Thanks

During all the years I spent in Tarrytown, NY, we never hung out at the Sleepy Swallow, but the name is hilarious given the location.

Can I just say that I absolutely loved chapter 10? I feel like that was a good bone the producers threw us since we know Caskett won't be in exsistance for a while on the show.

Chapter 10 totally shocked the hell out of me, but I guess that's why Castle said Heat would be "a little slutty"… Definitely lives up to the title, lol. That's for sure.
I heard in some interview (can't remember where, maybe someone else knows?) that the book will be referenced– even by page number in some places— throughout the next couple of eps… Wonder if Beckett will bring it up? Kind of hard to miss that chapter if she's supposed to have read it and all… Should an interesting convo between her and Castle if she does, since apparently he thought about *it*… in great detail… lmao. Can't even imagine what Ryan & Esposito will have to say about it if they read it, too!
Overall, I was actually really surprised at how good this was! I was pretty glued to it for most of yesterday and actually finished it today. Which is weird for me, because I haven't picked up a book so gripping in a while. Can't tell if it's because it was well-written (it was pretty good, esp. for a TV tie-in), or because I freaking love this show and would probably have bought a dictionary with a Heat Wave dustjacket.
Castle = Awesomesauce. The end.

Lol I think that they'll be mentioning it in the episode that has the Heat Wave launch party. I can't wait to see how they have Beckett react. Ironically Stana's reaction is going to be genuine because she hasn't been aloud to read the book yet 
It's going to be amazing to see them play out the reactions to that chapter

That's a great trick, not allowing her to read the book before the scene. Do we know which episode the launch party will be in? 
Regarding the book, I actually liked it alot, I was a little worried at first, there were some missteps in the first couple of chapters and they still didn't correct all the typos and mistakes, but given the shortened time period for the assembly of this book, I think its pretty good. I think that reading one chapter at a time, while a good marketing tool, has disadvantages too. I hardly ever read just one chapter when I'm reading a book, so if one chapter isn't so good, by the time you read onto the next chapter, I tend to forgot that chapter that was lacking and certainly don't have a week to ponder over it.
I liked that "Castle" wrote it as Heat/aka Beckett almost always being a step ahead of Rook in the investigations, and I don't think Beckett will have much to complain about as far as her portrayal as a very savvy, very capable detective. However, chapter 10 will really rile her up, can't wait to see that! Can't wait for the teasing she'll get from Esposito and Ryan! (and Lanie!)

No doubt, they will reference page 108 and 'wake-up calls' on the show. It will be hilarious! Can't wait to see everyone's reaction to the book, especially Beckett's.

I finished the book tonight and just loved it. I caught "spilt" instead of "split" and iPhone "ap" instead of "app" (wow, would that make Nathan cringe!), but I didn't notice as many mistakes as were on the ABC site (which was an early version anyway, I guess).
That is fascinating Stana hasn't been allowed to read the book yet. I can't wait to see Kate Beckett's reaction to Ch. 9-10.
I really got into the book (stayed up till 2:30 a.m. earlier this week reading…would have finished the book if I didn't have work the next day!), and the writer did an awesome job with the descriptions…really felt like I was watching an episode of Castle. I so hope they do more of these books (fingers crossed).

I kind of hope that maybe they'll release a Derrick Storm book or Hell Hath No Fury for the Hard Core Castle groupies

Finshed it last night. I actually like it a lot. For a rush job, which I think it is, it's very entertaining. It's actually gotten cheaper at amazon too. I might pick up a few copies to give as gifts this Xmas.

Hey all, I got both my book and DVDs last night
I rewatched the first two eps, ohhh I really love that scruffy look Rick has going on, sexy and started the book on the bus this morning. I'm up to chapter 3 and loving it. I hope they put more out.
Does anyone else automatically read them as the 'real' people and not who they are in the book LOL I've been doing it all morning. Loving Rook already, he's so going to give Nikki hell LOL
