Chapter by Chapter features me reading one chapter of the selected book at the time and reviewing it as if I were reviewing an episode of a TV show or an issue of a comic. There will be spoilers if you haven’t read to the point I have, and if you’ve read further I ask that you don’t spoil anything further into the book. Think of it as read-along book club.
We’re getting closer to the end and only recently has the title location’s part of the story been any good. It’s a race to stop a war versus people who really want to kill someone they don’t like or look really strong by doing something really stupid. Compare to that the woman who wants to sleep with her married boss during a crisis while he’s worried about his son is…still bad but not as bad in comparison. I’m at a point where I take the victories I can with this book. At least I’ve enjoyed the last few chapters for a change. Let’s see if we can keep the streak hot.
- Chapter 65: Wednesday, 6:30 AM, The DMZ: Two pages and roughly a paragraph
- Chapter 66: Wednesday, 7:00 AM, the Diamond Mountains: I’m rounding up to six pages
- Chapter 67: Wednesday, 7:10 AM, Osaka: four full pages…I’m shocked too
The pacing of this book still confuses me. The chapters are really short but even with bundling them there’s a lot here, and half of it has been padding from Op-Center while the interesting stuff happens almost without them in Korea. It still feels like they ran short on the Korean bombing story and tossed this stuff in to sell a new book series. I don’t know if that’s what happened but it’s what it feels like.
