But having said that, I liked the book. The author spends a lot of time introducing the characters, probably the first third of the book. The rest of the book is used to kill most of them off and since you know them so well, you actually care. There is lots of dialog. I feel that dialog is hard to write, especially when the author changes voices to match the character that is speaking. Scott does does this very well. The plot, the premise and the action are all first rate as is the use of language. Very few errors were noted.I deducted a star because of the long introduction. Some of the other reviewers were really put off by it, I found it distracting but not a deal breaker. The author does have a thing about elbows. It seems that everyone falls and hits their elbow, hits someone with an elbow or is hit by an elbow. There are more elbows in this book than you would find at a tennis player's reunion. No big deal I just found it amusing. So all in all, a good read and certainly worth more than the $.99 price. I'll read the next one so hurry up Scott.
