Title: Isn't There a Zero Star Rating?
Product review: If there were, I would certainly use it in this instance. Thankfully I didn't purchase this book but picked it up at the library, or I'd be angry rather than merely bemoaning the time I spent speed-reading this flat book. Turtledove used the Many Anvils of Fur Revulsion, Slave Hating, and Taste Judging to bludgeon any interest a reader may have had in the story. I kept checking the book jacket to see if I may have inadvertently missed a "Young Adult" icon. (There was none.) I, like another reviewer, simply didn't care whether Jeremy and Amanda made it out and back to their hometimeline or even if their parents were alive. I was half hoping the book would end with them stuck in the Roman Empire - would have served them right! Unsympathetic and arrogant characters, dumbed down language, religious moralizing I could certainly have done without. I will NOT be looking for the next book in the series.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
