I tried, I really did.  But I just couldn't finish the book.  The writing was juvenile, the characters bland.  The main character exhibits Larry Sue-like tendencies, the romance, such as it was, was flat.  People did stupid things, people were in opposition to the hero apparently for the sake of just being in opposition, and not very much of it made sense.  I don't think this book was plotted out very well.Have you ever watched a movie where the characters do boneheaded things for no apparent reason which will clearly backfire on them?  This would be that novel.I gave this a three, and this is why:  Apart from certain homonym errors - you don't "pour" over a book, you pore over it, the book is reasonably well edited.  The dialogue might be the strongest point, which is not to say that it's very good, but at least it isn't bad.  The grammar is never elegant, but it's never terrible.On the other hand, I couldn't bring myself to finish it.  Off with it's head!
