Started out strong and then flopped at the end, I couldn't wait to be done with this(read and finished another book in between). It read very cliche to me. Granted, considering the book was published almost 30 years ago, it's likely where most of the cliches spawned from, but as I'm reading it now... well. Let's just chalk up the lackluster rating to a case of "wrong place, wrong time". To give the man the benefit of the doubt, I'll give the next couple of books in the series a try. Fingers crossed.
