#Disappointing Book. Respect #Your Audience.

So, I just finished a book that I was reading. Initially I thought it was good - it kept my interest, the writing style was good, the story was credible and the main character was likeable.

For many chapters I went along for the ride, being intrigued by the character's life and adventures both good and bad.

However, somewhere along the line the story began to deteriorate. It was subtle at first. I thought, "Oh really, that's a bit far-fetched but still credible". But then, incredible, silly stuff began to happen and my interest began to wane.

The last chapter did me in. I then knew that the story had deteriorated into just plain ridiculous. It was a disappointing ending.

I hate that. It felt more like the author duped me than entertained me. He did not indicate anywhere in the story that he was writing tongue-in-cheek so now I just feel like I wasted my time.

It seems that I won't be looking for more books by the same author.
