I can't agree more. The book starts well but gets monotonous towards the end.

I didn't enjoy how careless the character of Grant was. He had documents and letters from Uncle Randall himself right in the beginning of the story and he straight up loses them. I also didn't quite enjoy the debauchery in the camp. Towards the midsection of the book, that's all there is to talk about and no plot development.
I would recommend the book for thrill/adventure seeking readers.

I agree with your statement. The first few chapters were involving because i was totally engrossed in it. The rest of the book was not that much interesting in my opinion.

I would rate the book three out of four starts as well. I agree that it gets extremely unbelievable at times. The book got significantly worse towards the end. In my opinion, the book should get more exciting as it progresses. Unfortunately, it was not the case for this one.

I agree with your assessment. The book gets very unbelievable towards the ends. It was not my favorite book as it was not as exciting for me as other sci-fi books.

Thank you for sharing your opinion. In my opinion, the book gets very unbelievable at some ends. The end was not as excitng as I anticipated. As the book progressed, it got significantly worse. However, there were some interesting parts that made me want to read more.

I am glad you enjoyed the book. Unfortunately, it was not as interesting for me. I didn't like the fact that some parts were very unbelievable and slow. However, there were also some great parts that made me want to read more.
