The Current by Tim Johnston

2.0

This one just didn't really do it for me. It meandered a lot, and I was annoyed by the author's habit of starting off new chapters just using pronouns instead of character names. Since the book is told from multiple points of view, this made following the story confusing. I ended up skimming ahead until I saw a name and could figure out who was narrating. I found the jumping around between timelines confusing as well.

The resolution also just didn't feel like a satisfying pay out either, probably because I was never really drawn into the narrative.

All of this is a shame, because the story concept was interesting and the writing eas sometimes very good. Had the book been more focused and better paced, I would have liked it a lot more.
