Title: Not a good introduction to Rice
Review: My first Rice book. The writing style, character development, and idea were so impressive that it had the pontential to join the list of books I consider masterful. I was majorly let down by two shortcomings. The first was the length of the documentary-style writing. The history was great but it became tedious when presented in documentary form for extended time. The other thing, and it's hard to explain without spoiling anything, was the ending. The ending isn't satisfactory because it leads into the next book, but the next book seems to be an entirely different type of tale - a type I find too 'way out' for my liking. Shame.
