I thought the book was mediocre. ajah Send a noteboard - 26/09/2009 01:48:12 AM
There were some things that I liked about it, but in general I found it depressing without purpose -- not dark like GRR Martin but just -- depressing. Which I think was part of the point, but didn't make it fun to read.

I also thought that in the "climactic" ending section was quite anti-climatic.

However I did really enjoy the very last scene.

That was a rather poor review of the book - 15/09/2009 09:59:27 PM 388 Views
It's a newspaper review... it's supposed to summarize and maybe analyze a little. - 17/09/2009 02:07:37 AM 388 Views
It's still a poorly done review, even for a newspaper review. - 17/09/2009 04:28:15 PM 378 Views
Hmmm, seems strange to me that you both would independently come to that conclusion. - 17/09/2009 08:10:11 PM 423 Views
