Title: How can a book be funny and really boring at the same time?
Review: How can a book be funny and really boring at the same time? I kept trying to read it, putting it down, picking it up again, etc etc. Finally got to the end. Maybe 10 pages worth of stuff in the book was really cute and well written... the rest was dull dull dull... and the cute stuff was sprinkled so thinly that it kept you thinking something good was just about to happen. A come on rather than a read. Unpleasantly so. Too bad because the author is obviously intelligent and could write something interesting. I'm just about burnt out on trying though.Now, if you want some really excellent and intelligent space opera, try the Liaden Series by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller. I hate to speak of them in the same breath, but they really do all this book promised and much much more.
Is the review positive or negative?
