Too much dialogue. Way too much dialogue. The entire book was boring, redundant dialogue. In real life if your life was being threatened, you would not stand around talking about unnecessary things. You would not allow strangers to get within arm's length of you. There is no way the female character (Jax) could know things she claimed to know about Alex's world. How could she give all those detailed examples of how his world would be screwed, and yet not know how to open a car door? Would have been much more creative and informative if she had used examples of her own world, not that that would have saved the novel, though. The "plot" was so basic, you are insulted that it took the main characters so long to figure out. (Ten percent of the way through the book (still during the first day of the book), Alex's mother point-blank tells him what he needs to know/ "they" want.) Sad. It'd be an okay children's book plot if it didn't have all the almost rape and torture in it. I normally don't review books, but I almost didn't read this one due to seeing many negative reviews. It seems that the author has a popular series of books, and that the writing style/story line in this book is different. Most of the bad reviews were about how different this story was. I have never read any of the author's other works, so I have no basis for comparison. That being said, this was a decent read. Sometimes it's better to ignore the reviews and try it yourself. The first couple chapters are available for free on amazon.com
What do You think about La Legge Dei Nove (2009)?
This is very compelling, a great companion to the Sword of Truth series or as a stand alone novel.
