Life is too short for books such as this
January 27, 2019
Format: Kindle Edition
I told myself that my 'want to read' list is too long and life is too short to read mediocre books much less bad books. However, this book two was free via Kindle Unlimited, the author seemed to show some potential in book one and I was curious about the how, who and why questions which were not answered in book one. I should have paid attention to my intuition and to my suspicion of an author writing under a pen name such as Rex Bolt. Shades of Roy Rockwood (Bomba the Jungle Boy)!
Book two is much worse than book one. A rotten egg is still rotten even if it's free. Any potential the author displayed in book one has disappeared in book two. The questions are not answered. The editing, punctuation and grammar have not improved. In book two he didn't lied down but, "...she lied down in a back aisle...." The characters still behave both irrationally and unbelievably. Among other things which Pike does not know but should - he doesn't know if a football teammate plays in the school band. He is pointlessly keeping secrets from the people helping him, "Pike couldn't keep straight who he'd told what, who he'd held back stuff from." That sentence is also representative of the quality of the writing throughout. If you don't see a problem with it, maybe you would enjoy this series.
The, so far, peripheral character Dani is out of control, a murderer and just plain unappealing but this doesn't seem to bother Pike very much. Her relationship with her lawyer is strange or the lawyer is strange or.... Anyway here is a quote about that,
"My lawyer knocked on my door this morning,' she said. 'They're close to charging me with a crime in Palm Springs...if you can believe it.'
'What kind of crime?' Pike said.
'He doesn't know yet.... "
Wow, a lawyer who makes housecalls but doesn't know much.
I highlighted more strange things but I will address just one more point. Pike and friends display poor morals throughout. A few examples: In book one they get into some place free because a schoolmate working there lets them in. Pike and his girlfriend slip into movies for which they have not paid. Pike steals money from dad but he does feel bad about it and it's an emergency. When the question of God finally arises in book two, he is equated with angels, UFO's, forces of nature, freaks of nature and, "Pike wasn't sure how he felt about most of it.". Really? Not what he thinks or believes but how he feels?
Enough. Life is too short for books such as this.
