Query: Big disappointment

I read this book on the strength of the other reviews, and of the favorable mention that it got in the reviews of The Plague Tales. The whole first half of the book should have been condensed down to one chapter. It's so full of stalling, filler, and just plain stupidity, especially in the future section, that it hardly bears skimming. I was so exhausted by the time I got to the meat of the story that I almost resented spending the time to finish the book. Keep away from this one unless you have a very high tolerance for pointless prose.
