Review title: Were the other reviewers reading the same book??
Product review: I read the reviews. I read the summary. I thought, "Hey, give it a try, it is supposedly reminiscent of David Weber and Steve White! I like those guys! Sure why not."I'm sorry, but Fleet of Angels reads like a young-adult sci-fi book. Maybe I was browsing the wrong section of Amazon and accidentally wound up in the kiddy section. The writing reminds me of something David Weber might have produced if he were twelve years old. The characters are all one-dimensional and the plot reminds me way too much of the old Japanese animations of Robotech and Voltron (anyone remember those?), great if you are a kid, but painful to watch as an adult. Maybe in a few years this writer will actually reach some maturity in his writing, but if you are an adult and are looking for a well written, decently thought out, and entertaining book, then perhaps you need to look elsewhere.
