Title: Don't read this book first!
Review: I found this book in the airport news stand and bought it without having read any others of the series. While reading, I thought often about just putting the book down and going on to something else - I wasn't carrying anything else.Having read the other reveiwers, I will accept that possibly I would have been better able to understand the story's origins had I read the other 9 books first. Also, I accept that the vast amount of detail missing at the end of the book may be found in the next of the series. I thought - and still wonder - that maybe there are omission of paragraphs, pages, and possibly chapters from the printing I have.I was looking for a stand alone story, not a book I would need to read nine before-hand and one or more afterwards to "finish".If you want to read one book to decide if you like the series, this is not the one.
Is the review positive or negative?
