Torchwood: The Men Who Sold The World
Sep. 1st, 2015 07:53 pmBoring. Boring boring boring. Boring.
I have no interest in this Rex guy, he just runs around shouting and being shot at. He's not the protagonist, he gets nothing done and the whole story would have gone the same without him.
And it's one of those stupid books that think describing lots of different ways to kill people is somehow interesting. Like there's murder and secretly cooler murder.
Also it keeps killing children. If the book has no other way of demonstrating the stakes then it's pretty much fail. I mean if the only way people would be interested and worried is if it's children, fail.
It also gives me that wrong-genre feel, like this isn't a Torchwood book. It's all spies and soldiers and angry fighting with bonus betrayal. I was bored.
Presumably there's people who would want to read about angry shouty man following the action around and seeing lots of messy death. This book is for them, not me.
