I have to agree with you there. That's why I didn't rate this book very high... iirc yep, 2.5 starts on my library thing.

I read Little Brother and enjoyed it quite alot. It was a real good read... almost to the point of a page turner. This is why I read another (magic kingdom) and it just left me mostly disappointed. I also read Craphound a short story which was ok but still no where as good at Little Brother.
