Short Review of Special Topics in Calamity Physics

Special Topics In Calamity Physics.. hum.. what can I say about this book? My advise to those of you reading and getting annoyed (I was getting annoyed)? Hang in there! The ending is really good, and worth trudging through the wordy beginning and annoying citations. The citations were cute at first, but got a little distracting. I admit this one went slow for me.. the other books we have chosen I finished very quickly. It's slow because of the writers style.. which is quirky and sometimes overdone in my opinion. The plot is really very interesting, and the story kept me moving, even if I was reading at a snails pace. The last hundred pages were much better, the ending is pretty thrilling, and the plot really takes off at the end. Let me know what you all think.. I am dying to hear some reviews of this one! Were you annoyed like me or did any of you LOVE the writers style?

I'm having trouble getting into this book... I can't seem to pick it back up, which I'm not sure of it being the book or just me in a winter slump and not feeling like doing anything, because I haven't gotten far enough to form an actual opinion yet. :)
