Few Are Chosen, K'Barthan Series: Part 1 by M T McGuire
2.0
I decided to read this book because it (or the author) was compared to Douglas Adams. When that is in a blurb, I of course think of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (one of my favorite books of all time), so it sets the bar REALLY high. Alas, I did not feel that this book lived up to its blurb. The author has some interesting ideas, and there were humorous moments, but overall this book just wasn't for me.
In HHGTTG, it is the character Arthur Dent who has no idea what is going on most of the time. However, with "Few Are Chosen" I felt like I had no idea what was going on most of the time.
Generally, when reading a book, you don't want to be thinking "how much longer until it is over?" and unfortunately, that is what I was thinking with this book. That is also why it took me so long to read this book - it was very easy to put down and read something else instead.
