We describe in terms of p, q and when the solution is global in time and when it blows up in finite time. For blow-up solutions we find the blow-up rate and the blow-up set and we describe the asymptotic behaviour close to the blow-up time, showing that a phenomenon of asymptotic simplification takes place. We finally study the appearance of extinction in finite time. %~
