Review: If you can get past the slow start, this book is worth reading and is actually pretty polished for a self-published book

Note that this book is available for free if you have a Prime membership, through the Kindle Owners' Lending Library.The first third of this book has way too many tiring forced analogies and tangents, seems like he is taking you to a rather unoriginal plot.  The author purports to use a "talking directly to you", unique protagonist's point-of-view, style that is supposed to be different from other novels.  In reality, I didn't find the point of view of his book to be any different from most other books, although the constant tangents and analogies he briefly takes you on is probably what he is referring to.I was going to give up on this after about the first quarter of the book, but saw some of the other reviews say that it gets better as you go on.  As it turned out, I was glad to have finished it, because after the first third, it gets very good.  I really enjoyed it, find it, over-all to be entertaining, suspenseful, and humorous.The middle and end of this book are actually pretty polished for a self-published "indie" work.  If he went to a publisher, the editors could focus all their effort on the first third, because that is really the only part that needs work (and a lot of it).Overall, I recommend that you buy and read this book.  For a self-published book, it is excellent.  Even the beginning is bearable, now that you know that it gets better.If this wasn't an independent work, I'd probably give it three or four stars, at most.  I'm giving the author an extra star or star and a half for the effort.
