What d you do if a book that catches your fancy at the start ends up dragging in the middle? Me, I stick it out. I remember a book like this very well. I read Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard on the recommendation of a friend. I got about 1/2 way through it and it really started to bog down. And then like 3/4 into it, it could have ended at a numbe rof places. It's like he ended it and then decided to tack more on to it in a number of places. Overall a dreadful book that started off with some promise.
