Not quite worth it, especially for women
- This book attempts to do a lot, but ends up feeling like it was written in the 1970's. The female characters quite literally exist for the sole purpose to entertaining the male characters, and I mean that literally within the plot. There was so much potential in this story, but it just did not come through. The narrator was really distracting as he struggled through multiple accents. All in all, this author hasn't evolved in a world that has changed a lot since he started his career.
