I have given this book a try, I honest have. I read all the way up to chapter one hundred and eight, and could not take the torture anymore. The story line, had everything it needed to be great, and that’s why I kept reading; hoping it would get better. Yet, I was met with a bunch of inner thoughts, and long explanations, over every single thing. I understanding the need to explain, but should it take two to four chapters, just to get a single thought out ? Randy, spent more time pondering, and thinking of every single thing that it becomes dumb and dry super fast. Not to mention that he has to be one of the dummest, if not most naive, Mc’s out there. Once again, I really think the book has what it needs to be great. Only, if you focus more on depth and not unnecessary filter to fill the pages. Example, Hey randy, you’re eating breakfast ? Hey randy, I didn’t expect to see you today? Hey randy, you can now assimilate this crystal core? two to four pages later of randy thinking of how to respond, rambling in his inner thoughts, or trying to make any decision”.
