Negative Positive
Title: Day of Fire
Review: I was disappointed in this book. Like another reader who has posted a review, I was expecting great things after the initial book in the series, The Legend of Banzai Maguire by Susan Grant. I adore Susan Grant's books and intend to read them all. However, this book is dreary and very slow-moving, kind of like Ethan Frome in the 23rd century, and I have had to force myself to finish it so I could move on with the series. There is very little interesting or likable about either one-dimensional character other than being hard-working and dedicated. The novel cries out for romance, tender words, humor, and at least a few more sympathetic or interesting characters. Even the main villain is boring and forgettable. This almost seems like a book written by a man, lots of action and confrontational dialogue, interspersed with occasional bouts of lusty sex with no romance. Hopefully the next book in the series, by Liz Maverick, is more my style.
Is the review positive or negative?
