Review: Displaced is correct
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 08 1, 2011
Compared to whats out there I'll give this a score of 3. Compared to books 1-3... a 1.5 at the most. Its too bad because I was hooked for the first 4 chapters and the story went off into left field. Halfway through the book  I would think to myself "Ok, the pieces are now in place, here we go!". Sadly, it turns out nothing could be further from the truth.Plot and minor writing/editing issues aside I do not think this is a solid book. Unfortunately, plot tends to be a major piece of a book. I expected some "Stephen King" stuff to happen, but not too much. Just see the "world" through the POV of more interesting characters. But I expected the latter portions of the book to setup a better ending. What I got though, left me both disappointed and slightly confused.Certain characters are still bumbling around doing something (and I use the word something because I don't know what they are doing/thinking, and I don't think G.J. has a clue either).  The plot seemed to move very little. Sure things happened, but I couldn't (and still cant) lose the feeling that nobody ever really reached a goal or accomplished anything. I'm thoroughly confused with the ending and at the same time totally unsatisfied/confused at the fate of the major character. All things considered, one is not missing much in this book in terms of plot substance.
