Natt90 | Dec 20, 2022 |  I know I read the book many years ago as I remember one of the key twists. I don’t recall disliking it as I do the audiobook. Possibly it is the amount of swearing, which I find grates more when listening as opposed to reading. Possibly it has to do with the nature of the characters, none of whom I can care about. Possibly it is the slow, deliberate pace of narration which gives more time to be aware of the flaws of plot and dialogue. (  ) Kindleifier | Oct 27, 2022 |  ) nick4998 | Oct 31, 2020 | On the other hand, there are signs that Mariani knows what he's doing. There's a Hero with a Thousand Faces approach with two calls to action, the first refused. Later, Roberta's capture echoes the capture of Han Solo, and Hope's reaction echoes Luke's two rescue attempts, walking openly into Jabba's lair and also the confrontation with Vader at Cloud City where he gets offered a job. Despite a slackened pace in the middle part of the novel, it is overall a fun, easy read. ( ) Lukerik | Feb 22, 2017 |  ) Alan1946 | Jun 25, 2016 | nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
