Wait, we're back to the kids now?
Giant robot was a flop?
Frick, this novel is all over the map. ~_~

Wow, more talk about boners and weapons of mass destruction. *yawn* Yes, we've got it about that character, no need to hammer it home.

And suddenly ANOTHER character is introduced, 705 into the novel!!
What the hell? Suddenly the kids are out of the picture and we've been introduced to 2 new protagonists. *throws hands into the air* Frick...

So here we are, 57% of the way into the book, and Marlowe suddenly introduces a NEW main character! WTF? Suddenly the book isn't about the kids who we've followed for most of the novel and spent the first quarter of the book learning about, but a lady who works for the Navy.

Monster shows up and I just don't care. Marlowe seems to be trying to use gross out gore to create horror rather than using more refined elements. I don't care about the characters and that is the heart to any Kaiju fiction.
