Title: Rather weak and predictable
Product review: I am not a big Jan Michael Friedman fan and this book is an example of why. First of all, the story was completely predictable without a single surprise, not one. But there is a deeper problem, and that derives from some of Friedman's writing mannerisms. He uses adjectives and pronouns in a cloying, irritating way, to wit: The upperclassman (meaning Kirk) and his companion (meaning Gary Mitchell) did this or that, and Kirk's friend (meaning Mitchell) alerted his comrade (meaning Kirk) etc. etc. I did not know quite how to characterize this writing style, except to say that I found it to be annoying and distracting from the story. And candidly, there is not much of a story here, or in Friedman's other books about Kirk and Mitchell.I know that Friedman has a following, and that's fine. But I did not enjoy this book and I generally do not enjoy Friedman's writing, although I tried to.
