AL F. (JandAinAZ) reviewed Has Potential - Found it Boring on 4/14/2009

Helpful Score: 1

I got about half way through this book and gave up. It really has a lot going for it but sadly it did not pan out, at least for me. I put it down a few times and tried again after awhile, but at last gave up and am now posting it. Good descriptions of the landscapes, but unintriguing characters. One point which stuck in my craw was that the group was leaving the village in winter, which was played up to be very harsh in their part of the world and that to even leave the village for a short distance was hazardous, Instead an old fat, out of shape mayor, a 16-18 year old girl who is basically kidnapped with no prep for the trip, two teen boys and a 70 year old man seem to have no problems hiking for weeks and getting through it.

If you like outdoor imagery you may enjoy it. As an adventure read it fell very flat for me
