A review by alexandrabree
The Lost City of Terror by Jethro Wegener
1.0
This was ultra disappointing. I completely don't support the "stay in your own lane" idea. BUT I think I am going to make an exception for this book... If you are not an African American, who descendant from slaves and also fought in WW2 (?) do not try and write a character who has nothing going on in his world or in his head other than those 3 things. It was the most irritating thing, and with how bad
ALL the writing is, that is saying a lot.
Because on top of our solider/captain man, we also have a girl boss being crushed by the patriarchy, despite all efforts however this babe is the smartest, bravest, richest of the bunch. *eyeroll and sigh* and I cannot understand why Wegener chose to write this as a post WW2 novel in the first place (I mean other than giving out victim points and mentioning that Nazi's are bad.
I skimmed a huge portion of the book after the first half didn't progress at all. There is the first scene and then a bit at the end that involve the monsters the rest is a LONG set of monologues and dialogues that add nothing to the story. This should have been a short story if anything but instead 4 hours of audiobook nonsense.
