A review by janetlun
The Short Victorious War by David Weber

After the 2nd book in the series, I'd concluded that I didn't want to read any more, but my husband picked this one up. I struggled through the massive info-dump about politics at the beginning, soldiered on for awhile, and concluded that it wasn't worth reading. I did skim enough to enjoy the space battle scene. I won't be reading any more of this series. The 'As we know, Bob' interludes are many and leaden. The characterization is to often done by telling rather than by showing. My husband did actually read it, but concluded that he didn't want to read any more of the series.
