Title: couldn't finish it
Review: One of the few books that I couldn't will myself to finish. I waited and waited for something interesting to happen, but it became apparent the author was just setting up for a sequel. At that point I just started skipping long useless passages and concentrated on the dialogue. But the characters are so flat that their conversations were simple back-and-forth affairs that barely register. And finally, the ludicrous attempted seduction of the female protagonist by the bad guy (how stupid is she??) is such a blatant attempt to titillate the young male adolescent audience that it's insulting. Pure hackwork.
Is the review positive or negative?
