ofearna's review against another edition
3.0
While this BOOK (the story) was excellent, the editing threw me for a loop.
There's a side-character named Jake. His subplot is just... dropped
then the son/MAIN character Jared keeps being "called" Jake and it just derails all mental connection with the story.
when Anne McCaffrey or Arthur C Clarke do that you have to consider that they were into their 80s+ and writing LOTS of interwoven plots. This is not that complicated: Jake may be a stalker, but no resolution (ONE sentence would resolve the entire subplot) and Jared is the son. Jake is not Jared and Jared is not Jake!!
OK, rant-mode off.
