Part 1 was all right, but doesn't really inspire me to continue with parts 2 to 9,000. If it's okay I might bow out until the next new book.

Do what you have to, though I personally would be interested to get your reactions as we make our way through the book.

I feel bad about bitching out, but I've got a long reading list and if I can't get into something in 160 pages (in this case), then it's time to move on. I don't like not giving books the benefit of the doubt — any book could get better or change suddenly later down the line, but I'm far more likely to get bogged down and wind up not reading anything at all.

It's a crap shoot, sure. If you change your mind and feel like discussing your impressions and ideas, please jump in!

Et tu Brute?

Can't say I blame you, though I hear the next chapter comes equipped with giant flying hornets :)
