Title: Too Predictable
Product review: Spoiler alert.This started out as a good, fun book. And I generally enjoyed it. But two big things bothered me about it. First, the chapters are numbered by time sequence. The book starts with Chapter 5, then continues in order until a time jump back to chapters 2-4. Then there is another skip to the current time (Chapter 16). It's around this part of the book that the reader realizes the book is going to end with Chapter 1. Not only that, but the who/what/when/where of Chapter 1 is obvious. Varley does throw in a twist at the end with one of those Ws. But the other 3 Ws are as predicted.The other problem with the book is that a big chunk of the middle is tedious and not as fun to read as the rest.Overall, a decent book. Some good things, some bad. But knowing the ending ahead of time is not enjoyable.
