Books Underground: Keeping it Real
Ok, I want to roll my d10 against agility to perform the jump. Ah… remember I have the +2 bonus because of my cybernetic legs and the +2 because I’m already moving… can I roll the dice, master?
When I start reading this book I feel myself moved inside a role playing game where the master had to deal with a so-called “Power Player“. Yes, it has been quite funny for the first 50 pages, then the strangeness disappeared and the only things that remained has been a poor book, where a lot of interesting ideas were badly presented, briefly described and where the story was not able to involve me.
No, I didn’t finish this book, I left it with more than a hundred pages to read, but it was unbearably slow and tedious. Need anything more about it? The back cover attracted me because of the setting: a cyberpunk world mixed with elves and magic, something really strange. This is one of those settings where the few who are able to write brilliantly are able to create a great novel… for the majority of the others the book is one of those not hard to forget… guess where I set this one!
