Negative Positive
Title: Sluggish Read
Review: This book was not fast paced at all. At times the technical descriptions were laborious and needlessly in-depth. Much of the story has the main character, Jake Grafton, a likable if predictable character, struggling with the meaning of life. Much angst over whether to stay in the service and whether or not to marry. At about a third of the way in I began skimming pages because the pace was so slow. The sidekick character, Flap LeBleu, was far more entertaining and would be a good main character. All in all, I was disappointed in this book. Far too little story hidden among technical descriptions as exciting as an owners manual and whiny self-absorbed introspective blather from Grafton. Hard core fans of the Grafton series may appreciate the character insights but the uninitiated will likely find this a boring travail.
