Dear book,
It's me, not you. I was really into you in the beginning, but you lost me when you got too technical. That's when I lost my interest in you. There was no coming back from that. While I found your premise fascinating and terrifying at the beginning, after you lost me, the premise wasn't interesting to me anymore. This is purely me, and is not your fault. You see, I have an addiction to the Kate Daniels series. I was spending time with you while waiting for the buddy reread I'm doing of Kate Daniels to be ready for the next book. You didn't stand a chance. When I'm in KD mode, not much lives up to par.
I'm sorry for the one star rating I'm giving you. I debated not rating you at all. However, I always rate DNFs with one star, so I would've hurt the rest of the shelf's feelings if I didn't. I'm really sorry. Maybe one day we can resume our relationship.

"Ehhhhh....I'm not into it anymore..ugh!!! I don't want to DNF; it'd be my second in a row. I'll just pause it for now and see if I get a desire to pick it back up."

I feel better now. I was kind of embarrassed because I lost interest due to all the technical stuff. I just wanted to enjoy a book, not be in a college class. Now I know I'm not the only one. Thank you.

LOL. You’re definitely NOT alone!!! I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you too!!
I read this for an actual college class, and most of that technical stuff is frankly nonsense! Why bore us with details and jargon if they aren't even based on the real science?
The science in this book is terrible nonsense. It's like he didn't even want to try to understand actual nanotechnology, so he just filled it with a bunch of jargon, threw a bibliography in the back, and mailed in a manuscript.
