Review: At first I wasn't sure, and then...

Luke Sky Wachter is a natural story teller. When the book began and our hero found enormous responsibility suddenly thrust upon him, his inner fears and doubts are understandable. But, it seemed that the inner fear rants went well beyond my ability to identify with the character. It was a little off-putting and found myself saying "c'mon man, get a grip". Maybe I'm too traditional.  Aside from that, I find the story develops nicely and somewhere along the way totally had me. One reason for this is how Wachter concocts some absolutely ridiculous situations along the way, of either the hero or someone the hero is dealing with, so thoroughly out-maneuvered (in the context of the situation) and sealed with these one-liners that make me laugh out loud. As these one-liners keep coming throughout the book (cracking me up every single time) while the Little Admiral is "Forest Gumping" his way through one disaster after another, my appreciation for the story just kept growing and growing. I've ended up a fan of the Little Admiral and I'm excited to read the next book to see what happens. Yep, I like this guy and the guy who wrote about him.
