I had a bad feeling that it'd be garbage when I ordered it. I made it about half way through, and I'm not sure I can bother reading the rest of it.

Cline isn't a good writer but I enjoyed the first book. It was a fun story and the nostalgia was enjoyable. He can't write dialogue to save his life. Luckily there wasn't much dialogue in the first book. There's a lot of dialogue in the second. His characters are established and then remain static caricatures outside of the protagonist.

There was a little sjw bullshit in the first, but pretty minimal. The second is nothing but activist propaganda.

All that to say, should I throw it in the recycling bin or donate to Goodwill?
