i got tired of using white-out to cover swear words and trying to figure what period of time the auther had this section of chapter. it is not a good book for it takes 10 pages to get any action but by then you are off to another time. go to a resale store and pay 50 cents for it for you’ll end up tossing it out like i did after 200 pages of swear words and more to come.

The story is good enough that I really wanted to finish the book, but the offensive language was a huge turn off. I did not give this book away–I threw it away, thinking not many readers would tolerate the foul words. Now I know to always check the lower ratings on a highly rated book in the hope that someone will give more clues about the content.

I bought this book based on the reviews and was unfortunately disappointed. The characters were flat, undeveloped and wholly uninteresting. By page 200, I realized I didn’t care what happened to the characters or story and chucked it to my “donate to the library” pile. Don’t buy this if you like stories with well-drawn characters you can relate to or care about.

This book so far has been great however halfway through the book there is a printing error that ruins the book right during one of the best parts. The pages are cut off at the top of the page meaning you only get half of the page then the bottom half of the page is printed upside down and has nothing to do with the top half so you miss out on about 40 pages of the story. I would suggest buying the book as it is really good but go to a books store and flip through the book to make sure its printed correctly look at pages 389 to 420.

I can’t for the life of me figure out how anyone can give this a positive review. Incredibly boring read. I just finished reading the First Law series, the Night Angel Trilogy, and the first book of the Kingkiller Chronicles. I’m not sure if these are all debuts but they are far more entertaining than this crap.
