I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
I mean, yes, there was a lot of bashing of Jaegers, but that was to be expected after having seen the movie.
The truth is that this was another hit by Alex Irvine; I'd been told this was good by some people, and not to purchase it by others. When it hit the two dollar mark as a Kindle book, though, I snapped it up!
It was quick paced, it gave you a little more insight into the characters, and it was a nice easy read that picked me up when I needed it.
I just realized that I finished it last week, too, and forgot to mark it down, or review it. And that time made me realize it wasn't a great book, but I loved it.
