Title: Style turned me off
Review: While the action was exciting, I found a lot about this book that I didn't like. First, I simply didn't find Broker to be a compelling protagonist. He just isn't that likable; he's uptight, unemotional (he barely related to his baby and his wife), and detached. Second, the transformation of James from hapless loser to what he becomes seemed a stretch. Third, and most important, I disliked Chuck Logan's style. One, I didn't like the herky-jerky, staccato sentence fragments. Two, there was a lot of clunky, unwieldy phraseology (duty "thudded through room after empty room"). Three, the grammar was odd-commas were omitted, periods were used where there should have been question marks, and commas were used where semicolons belong. My negative comments are obviously in the minority, but I just didn't like the style.
