Dominika's Reading Challenge

I'm very disappointed. I didn't like this book at all. It was really boring and slow, much too much talking and not enough action. Everything seemed so theatrical and crazy, there were so many coincidences and lucky breaks, that I just kept rolling my eyes and couldn't wait to finish reading this book. I didn't like any of the characters - to tell you the truth, to the very end I couldn't distinguishing two main heroes and even a so-called romance of one of them didn't help me. All those bad guys jumping from every corner were simply ridiculous. Generally, there were definitely too many people in this book, both bad and good, some of them appeared suddenly only to be shot and forgotten a second later. It was messy, annoying and I wouldn't recommend it to anybody.

It's hot and I feel tired, so I want something easy and quick this week. It's going to be a book with a one-world title, so I chose Athabasca by Alistair MacLean. Alistair MacLean wrote some of my favourite books, but there are also some I didn;t enjoy at all. It seems that I always either love or hate his books, we'll see what I think about this one :) It looks very short, so it shouldn't take me long to read it.
