Suspension of belief is required, but it was an entertaining read. I thoroughly enjoyed it. ( ) Stereotypical protagonist, stereotypical antagonist, plot holes galore, interesting, if questionable, science, and first person narrative in the present tense rather than past tense. An interesting read except for disappointing final chapter or two. Personal rant: I hate plot summaries that end with a question. Will he be able to do this before that happens? Makes me lose interest in the book. Stop. Just stop. An entertaining murder mystery with a horror movie villain as the antagonist. The plot was nothing special, but the writing was good and I enjoyed the characters and the self-awareness in all the cliche decisions the author made. While the completely random person doing the sleuthing thing has been done to death, I did enjoy the fact that the main character was a super intelligent fool, basically. He wasn't overly confident or charismatic and he didn't always make the smartest choices. Professor Theo Cray is a socially inept nerd who gets the girl only because the girl decides she wants a fling with the out of towner and pursues him. The love interest is thrown into the role of damsel in distress who motivates the main character, but she isn't weak and she doesn't really need saving. Also, the main character isn't physically imposing or always in control. While he does have a pretty improbable success rate at thinking on his feet, he's also often afraid, insecure, and gets the shit beat out of him. The ending was a little bit ridiculous and over the top, but in a fun way. Solid entertainment. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
