Review: Struggled to remain interested
Rating: 2 out of 5

I picked this book up based on the earliest reviews - the first 6 reviews all gave it 5 stars!  The 1-3 star reviews that follow the initial gushing 5 star reviews are probably a bit more realistic.The premis of the story is quite good, but unfortunately the characters can't pull it off.  The good guy is one dimensional and, whilst there is plenty of back story...some might argue too much...there wasn't enough personality to keep me engaged.  Same issues for the 'baddies'.  Unfortunately I found myself looking at the '% read' at the bottom of the kindle and thinking 'Oh, still 40% to go.'  I had my next book lined up and, but not wanting to just give up, which is a last resort (only done with 2 books since I got the kindle) I pushed on and tried to get into it.I give it 2 stars based on the story and the price and plus the fact that I considered stopping mid way through.  I'm glad I finished it, but wont be hunting for the next one in the series.
