Terri Jones's Reviews > The Antiheroes

This could have been an above-average part one of a series, but, alas, there was a glaring failure to edit out repetition and overly-wordy scenes in the second half. That ended my interest in continuing the story. I have a very low tolerance for excess verbiage. But it's even lower when the excess tells me something over and over and over. And over. Dannen gets very repetitious, having been failed by his author and editor.

I like the idea of this story, and most of the execution of it in the first half of the book. But then a character gets an entire and VERY wordy scene, literally for no reason other than a small character note about Fedder that never comes up again, and should have, and, come to think of it, makes keeping that scene a major flaw considering what happens later. Another character's point is repeated, at length, within the same scene. (That's when I started skimming.) A boring travel is dwelt upon for no good reason, and it's a wonder I finished this rather than abandoning it.

Maybe it gets better. I'll never know.
