Title: If this is the second book --I'm sure missing the third!
Review: After reading his first book Hell at the Breech I raced to the bookstore the next day to get Smonk. And boy was I ever Smonk'ed. There is no comparison with the first book. The narrative is sloppy, the plot everywhere and nowhere, the characters ridiculous. I really tried --100+ pages hoping the brillance this writer is capable of would emerge --it never does. I found this book tedious at best. It reads like something that was lying around and rushed out the door. My only hope I can return it for a refund --where did I put that receipt?
Is the review positive or negative?
