I wasn't really interested in this one like I was Crouch's other books. It took me a long time to get through it and at some points I considered just not finishing it at all because it wasn't that interesting. I think it was probably the loss of the human element that made it something I didn't want to read. Most books I connect with because of the characters and when you start to take out their humanity, it makes it difficult for me to sympathize with them and eventually I just don't care about the plot either.

The ideas were there and it was vaguely interesting, but it just couldn't hold my attention like his other books always do.
