Sci-Fi & Scary

I wish I could say that I enjoyed this book as much as I did the first in the trilogy, but... I didn't.

For some reason, I struggled to keep my attention on the book for at least the first half. It was mildly interesting, but not enough to keep my focus on it.

I didn't really start, I think, to pay attention to what I was reading, until Squeak and the Airweed got involved.

The problem that I have with Clarke seems to be that he's a wonderful writer for the FIRST book in a series, and that after that, as he tries to add more depth, to flesh out characters more, etc, he seems to struggle, and gives too much attention to these aspects, and less to what he truly excels in - which is the hard sci-fi writing itself.

I might read the third book, but can't say I have any great desire to.

I would not recommend this book.
