February 2009 in books
This review can also be found on Amazon.
In February 2009, I only completed reading one book. I have been terribly slack:
- 1. Flash!, by L.E.Modesitt
This is poorly structured and poorly written. Every single one of the characters is a flat cardboard cut-out, the world they inhabit isn't at all well-explained, and so the resulting story is mostly confusing and hard to follow.
I read "Of Tangible Ghosts" and "Ghost of the Revelator" about five years ago, and found them "okay". (apparently they've been republished in a single book as "Ghosts of Columbia"). It's not often that I have a hard time "getting into" a book, but the writing just didn't flow well and everything felt very stilted.
