I wanted to like this book. Really I did and maybe I would if I was not often tired and busy. But this is one of those hooks that is written in it's own kind if stole and it just didn't draw me in and was hard for me to follow. The writing was good, the author is obviously good at it, it just didn't grab me. A little too out there for me right now. Maybe some day

This book is too long by a third at least maybe even by a half. So much extra was put in just because the author enjoyed writing scenes that really didn't need to be there. There's pretty sketchy character development and the plot is only okay. It feels pretty hackneyed at this point. Plus, in the last couple hundred pages of the book, some of the language suddenly becomes pretty offensive for this day and age. Some very unfortunate use of accented English is used and there are definitely some words that would not pass muster today. Even if this may have been one of the first of the genre That doesn't necessarily mean it's still any good. For over 900 pages. I'd say skip it

Really fun writing. Ready

Read it after I watched the show. Impressive how much it's like the show. Almost note for note. As fun and easy to read as the show is to watch.
