Review: Slow Start But Good
Rating: 4 out of 5

It took me a bit to get into, but once I did I found it surprisingly compelling and engaging. I read a few reviews criticizing Trinity for being so gullible and naive. And she was, but I think in this particular story it worked well. There would have been no story if not for her innocence and ignorance. I had a bit more issue with Rush. He was a fairly weaker character than the book implied him to be. Not exactly sure what could have changed to create a stronger persona, it just seemed he constantly gave up too easily. And then again, where would the story be if he hadn't. Perhaps I was waiting for the super-hero to make the ultimate rescue and when he reacted more realistically, I created my own let down. The writing was above average, but could have been a tad more intense. And here again, I could have fabricated a needed level of drama that did indeed exist, just not in the tradition I am used to. The story was solid and well paced and I think did well with twists and turns in its mystery aspect. It was understatedly good. That is the best way I can think to describe my opinion of it. I know with certainty that I will be jumping to the 2nd in the series, so, over all I have to give this one a thumbs up.
