Meh.

The author is moving quickly. It's not a book for readers to become sympathetic toward any of the characters because there isn't a word written that evokes any emotion from the reader. As you move from one sentence to another the story is moving along and you have to keep up. There's no time to wait for anything to sink in. It's more like bare bones storytelling.
