Somehow, the general impression I get from your review, Stiroth, is that you were disappointed by the book either through previews or with the first chapters, and then that you decided the book was bad and read the rest in that mindset ... and posted the review to vent. I think it's a pity, because I feel you didn't really give CODA a chance.
