Query: Lacking any development

I'm surprised to see so many 4 and 5 star reviews of this book. The plot could have been interesting if there had been any attempt at character development or fleshing out of details, but it was just page after page of bare bones information without the detail needed to make it interesting. The writer made the mistake of telling the story instead of showing the story. It read more like a plot summary than a book told by a narrator who should have been emotionally involved but instead came across as if looking at the incidents through the wrong end of a pair of binoculars making the events seem small and lacking detail.
