I dnf this I struggled for a long time and I'm usually a decently fast reader. I just couldn't get into this. I'm not sure why but it felt like listening to one of my kids telling me about a book they were reading. The point was getting across but my attention was wandering...hard. 2 stars because the short story The Mentals was amazing and I wish it had been its own book. I may come back to this at a later date and maybe then it will be better. This time it just wasn't for me.
