Wow. This book was remarkably bad.

This book just can't build up any momentum without going off on some tangent that not only should've been dealt with earlier or just isn't necessary in the first place. Not only is the book structurally a mess (this guy has written a TON of books, how has he not figured this out by now?), but the prose just isn't that engaging. It's bad enough that I was genuinely shocked that it had sold so many copies!

The books builds (I use the word charitably) to a few sequences of thrilling (again, arguably) action in which things kind of just don't happen. Everything kind of just goes right for the main characters until the end, when they go wrong for a second, but then go right again. This book is a snooze. I do not recommend reading it, or even thinking about reading it. There are better crappy books to read.
