Chasm City

I'm sorry David. I tried, I really tried. I wanted to like it so much.

My good friend David Harreveld (who I call David for reasons that are already clear, hopefully - ie that's his name :)) and who I've known for about 27 years recommended a book to me. "You should read Chasm City, because it's really good and I liked it a lot."

Well clearly your taste is in your arse, Harreveld, because the books sucks!! It's soooo slow and it feels like science fiction that was written about fifty years ago. I managed to get about one-sixth of the way into it and I just couldn't go on. It's waaaay too painful.

I'm thinking I will still try and finish it, dipping into it now and then, but I can guarantee you it will not be be finished before my baby is born, and that says to me the book is really, really ordinary.
