DNF @ 49%.

I tried to push through this one, but the journal entry style and the sheer dullness of the content did nothing to help.

The entire thing is told (typical of journal entry style writing) which removes the reader from the action. The content in parts is interesting, talking about near future events including political and environmental, but so little is shared about it, it’s like a passing glance only.

Unless you enjoy dull reading, I’d avoid this one. The ‘erotic’ content is glazed over also. At least what is present in the first half.

I noticed:
