Negative Positive
Title: Exceptionally Annoying
Review: Many genre plots are driven by irresponsible and dangerous decisions on the part of the main characters. This seems more than usually the case in Chindi. I'm about 2/3 of the way through it, but don't think I can finish it. The ideas aren't very compelling, the most nearly appealing characters have mostly been killed off, and I wouldn't miss the others.Like an earlier reviewer, I generally like McDevitt. Hopefully his next outing won't feature a band of idiots repeatedly falling into tedious perils.
Is the review positive or negative?
