Status Updates From Dreck

This was an odd one. I think its biggest flaw was pacing- I felt like I was waiting for the story to start for the first quarter of the book. However, once the pieces of the story finally started to fall into place it was a very complex and interesting story. It was woven together phenomenally but some times the character hopping left me confused and it would take a couple pages to gather my bearings. 5/10

I’m glad I kept going. There are still moments when I’m confused but I think the pieces are finally beginning to come together. It’s still pretty surreal and a little choppy but the underlying, narrative string is starting to pull taunt.

I’m giving this until I’m halfway through, but I’m on the fence about whether or not I want to keep reading. I find the writing style interesting however I expected the story to make more sense by now. There are just certain chapters that are kind of jarring and feel uncohesive with the rest of the story, but I’m also intrigued by the world being presented.

I always appreciate books that throw you right into the middle of the story- it shows quickly if an author is a good world builder or not. So far I’d say Alex Grass is a good world builder. Sometimes the chapters feel a little choppy but I also don’t think I’m far enough in to cast any real judgement. I can say this, I already really like Frank Attanasio.

I won this in a giveaway and it looks ... Interesting. Let's go

I cant with this book... the boring narration, the macho humor... idk, about to give up
