Review: Good Story, interesting plot but still...

I picked this up cause the blurb pulled me in.  The book started out so slowly that I almost put it down and walked away from it several times. I am glad that I stuck with it though because the story did eventually find its legs. However, it did take half the book to get there.  A few other things that bothered me was the constant use of underlining certain words throughout the book tended to take away from the story. At first I thought it was to apply emphasis but after the first twenty times it quickly became apparent that wasn't the case.  The second thing that bothered me was the time setting the year was 2036 and while I like the background I find it hard to believe in twenty years the events in the book will take place. Lastly some events are so blatantly obvious that you can see them coming before they happen.Despite these issues the overall plot of the book was well done. The characters are believable and well defined. The relationships are realistic and comparable with the story arc. The ending leaves you wanting to get the next book in the series so that you can see what happens next. I would recommend this to any sci-fi fans out there but it might not be for everyone.
