2.8 - The pacing of this one felt so odd and completely off for me. I was on the last 200 pages of the book and I was wondering what the stakes were, what the exact problem or plan was, and I was wondering when we were going to hit the climax or turning point of the novel. I thought at first maybe it would be like the first Dune book where the beginning is super dialogue heavy before transferring into a whirlwind of action, but that never happened. I'm not sure if it was maybe because of what was happening in Frank's life around the time this book came out but this one was just missing the "it" factor the other novels had. 
I mean the last 100 pages felt like it could've been the middle of the book.... This one just wasn't it for me personally.
