Now.” “Jabba hesitated, hovering over the ENTER key. “But I’ve made the decision we’re entering that quote.

Seconds later the whole room knew it was a mistake. “It’s not clean.“ Jabba hesitated, hovering over the ENTER key. “I don’t like it,“ Susan muttered softly. On the center panel of the view wall near the top, were the letters: When they were done, they double-checked the spelling in omitted all the spaces. Nice and easy.” David Becker read the inscription, and Jabba typed. “Okay… Let’s do it.” He pulled himself to the keyboard. He knew Fontaine was right – there was no better option. Specifically, I feel Brown put in filler even though he’d HEAVILY FORESHADOW what was going to happen. However, when he was literally ALONE, IN AN ALLEY, WITH THE KILLER - and the next moment there’s people around him? Stfu.Īdditionally, I feel Brown assumed his readers are ill-read and unable to keep up. I understand that it was a theme, his decisions laid out before him rather than Susan or Strathmore creating their own fates. Generally speaking, EVERYTIME David Becker was lost, the way out was found. Because of this, there is nothing to distract the reader from Brown’s self-imposed oneupmanship. The readers have only words to keep them in the story, not visual elements, environments, and explosions. However a book doesn’t operate like a movie. It’s written like a movie in which the action and the stakes keep growing. Filling for a while, then it makes you sick. Reading this book was like eating junk food.

Sometimes it was believable, other times it verged on Deus Ex Machina. “He had slipped in just before the doors closed.” Brown employs this way too much - ‘EXACTLY what I needed to be there happened to be there at the LAST MOMENT’. To exemplify, I’ll use a line from the book. Again they’d reach their limit, and again they’d find more. Everytime a character was faced with a challenge, they’d say ‘I can’t go on, I’m at my maximum/out of power.” Then SOMEHOW, inexplicably, they’d find more power.
