Title: fun action, boring main character
Product review: This is a fun read for action and exploration as long as you don't think to deeply or have high expectations. The "lofty message" of the book is trite and the main character is caught up in the angst of his midlife crisis. While it might be interesting to some people to read about the inner turmoil of a middle-aged man in midlife crisis, I think it is boring. It is not really very interesting to read about some guy acting like a jerk to his wife and other people around him because he's caught up in himself and isn't sure he is going to achieve all his goals in life. A more appropriate format for all of the focus on this type of character might be self-help rather than science fiction. I read science fiction to relax and have fun. Real people in midlife crisis are boring and the main character in this book is boring.
