Title: This Book Has No Ending
Review: Jihad was a long book, and when you get to page 415, Coonts suddenly cuts the story off and you never know how it turns out. It's as if he finally just got tired of writing it, or he came up against a deadline, and just created a quick 2 page ending which leaves you hanging. It pissed me off that I spent all that time reading, and then there was no real satisfactory ending.Also, the story has too much "telling" as opposed to "discovery." I felt like I was getting the story second hand, as opposed to being there watching the story unfold in person. Good writers know not to do that, and it should have been a red flag when I noticed it at the beginning of the book, but I kept reading anyway.This was my first (and last) Stephen Coonts book.
Is the review positive or negative?
