dance64 's review for:
Doomsday Book
by Connie Willis
*Maybe 2.5?*
It was an interesting concept, and I did enjoy some of the build-up. But there was almost too much build-up, because after a while the story became very repetitive. It felt like every chapter the same thing was happening just in a slightly different way, and after a while I just got very bored. I think had this been even a hundred pages shorter it would have caught my attention a little more, but alas, it felt kind of a chore to get through this. I didn't realize when I started this that this book was a start of a series, which would explain why the ending felt a bit open-ended, but unfortunately I don't think this series is for me.
