As I read the beginning of this book, I felt as if I were being knocked on the head by deja vu. I can’t put my finger on the book, written in the 90’s, that is similar to this book. I began reading this book quickly. As time passed, the story slowed for me. There was no obvious flaw, it just didn’t move me. There’s another book in this series, but I doubt that I read it. Am I glad that I read it? I don’t care one way or the other.
