Negative Positive
Title: Missed opportunity
Review: I bought this book because a friend was reading it and recommended it based on the first third he had read so far. When he finished he said it was "kinda anti-climatic", which I have to agree with, and not only because you could tell how the book was going to play out almost from the beginning, but because the characters hardly develop at all. Really, given what was happening to them, I'd have thought that realistic characters would have reacted pretty differently. Also, the universe itself wasn't self-consistent. I'm not sure how to explain that comment without giving away ploy, so I won't.At the same time, it was an entertaining, quick and easy read because it's written in a conversational, first person, dialog-driven style. I was always eager to pick it up and continue, so I'm not willing to say that it's not worth reading at all. And yet it was disappointing, because it felt like a missed opportunity to better explore the reality and characters.
