DigitalRob@ramblingreaders.org reviewed Judgment Prey by John Sandford
Meh, Hopefully this is the start of a more interesting story
2 stars
Well, I wouldn’t put this one in the top half of the Prey novels. It just dragged and meandered forever.
I definitely liked the meta-commentary about writing provided by Virgil. If the terms he uses in the book are real terms used in the industry, this book has a lot of swamp.
In the end, this book has two cases that are completely separate except for the one central character, and I wonder if that character will be returning in future novels. If this novel is a setup for a future story, I think I can forgive the plot in this one, but I just read the description for the next Prey novel, and it doesn’t seem to be connected to this one. Maybe in #35.
Also, according to this novel, there’s a lot more to learn from Youtube than I’d ever thought possible. I’ll have to check.
