I can see in the background of this book a great story trying very hard to get out. It seems that the author has it trapped in rambling paragraphs about things that have nothing to do with the main story of Area X. He seems to believe that all the jumping back and forth in mid sentence and paragraph between the story and random unattached thoughts is somehow artistic or new wave or whatever crap he believes he is writing. Thank goodness I am getting these books for free because if I were paying I might just need a few years on a couch with a Dr. to help me get past my feelings of lose for having spent good money on these. I am going to read the 3rd only because I am reluctant to give up hope that Jeff will get over himself and actually allow this story to escape the babble he has trapped it in.
