#22 - "Six Gun Planet" John Jakes

[derien]

What a weird freakin book. I picked it up because I needed something to read to keep me in the bath, and today I actually took an hour long bath because I wanted to finish it. Partly I wanted to get it done with because sometimes the descriptions just went on too long. The main character didn't make sense to me - he was supposed to be smart but he seemed dumb as a post and fatally committed to being an asshole and then panicking. And you know how sometimes you expect people to go through a change during the course of a story and become a better person? Well, he went through a change and became, if anything, even more of an asshole. Well, his newfound abilities allowed him to become more of the asshole he already had been. And the ending twist that was blatantly telegraphed did NOT get followed up by the next twist I thought sure I saw coming as the real ending.

It certainly kept me reading, though.

(Again, I only have something to say if I didn't particularly like a book. ;))
