Review: Great book but...
Rating: 3 out of 5

The plot, characters, dialogue, etc were all excellent.  Only issue is the end when there was a fight.  The main character, Carl, doesn't seem to remember how to fight and he even turns his back while fighting on his enemy.  Who does that?  Plus he doesn't remember any of his karate training.  While his opponent starts swinging wildly like a small child he stands there watching.  Later when his opponent comes with a knife, he doesn't even use the empty rifle as a club.  Wouldn't you if someone was trying to kill you?  I felt that Carl became a completely different person at the end, someone who didn't know how to fight and who I hadn't met yet.  This book was very strangely written at the end.  Not sure if I will read another book by this author or not because the end was very disappointing.
