Title: boooooring book
Review: I wanted to like this book, I really did, but found "The Last Ship" to be terribly 'overwritten'. The (barely) plausible plot is constantly buried under the authors ceaseless need to explain every act and conversation with a mind-boggling preface. It's as if the narrator/captain puts on his Socrates hat and weighs the very essence and meaning of life for perhaps a full page before allowing himself to say: "Right full rudder." About two thirds of the way through the book, the author finds he hasn't described a sex scene yet, so lets loose with a stunningly bad attempt to name all the girl parts, then the 'thrusting, throbbing, etc.' begins like a parody of a Penthouse Forum letter. And the ending came so weird and confusing, I was surprised only that it didn't surprise me at all.
