Negative Positive
Title: stupid
Review: This book is too focused on the action and doesn't have anything to really say. The action itself is suspect and, since you have little choice but to pay attention to all the nagging details, you acquire doubts about it. The lead Bolo character jumped on the way down to the surface by a submarine. Nobody thought about the possibility of submarines? And "nobody expected such stiff resistance." Oh how original is that. Why do I even notice that the yields on various weapons keep changing around?The biggest disappointment is the Bolos themselves are very boring, when they are supposed to be the draw of a Bolo book.The human characters are frightfully overwrought. The female lead who is in love with the Bolo because she was sexually abused by her father and previous boyfriends? The drug-addicted regimental commander who nips off from his post in the middle of a planetary invasion and starts making out with his XO? Come on. It doesn't serve a purpose.
