Title: Couldn't finish it
Review: This is my first novel by Foster. I find it hard to believe he has so many books to his name, because the quality of writing in this one is so poor I couldn't get more than halfway through it. The premise of the book is ok and the plot is no more predictable than many similar books. But the writing -- bad dialogue, weird pacing, badly developed characters, it all gets in the way of enjoying the story. In a few pages, with almost no description, the main character goes from being a scared orphan kid to some kind of vigilante who can hotwire vehicles and break into secure areas. The help he picks up along the way is no more believable. I couldn't finish it, I hope you can.
