I started reading this a while back, but then got lost in my own publishing deadline and then focused on research material. What I read so far wasn't at all bad, and I hope to finish it when I'm back to reading for fun rather than work.

I scribble the occasional short SF story but usually for my fifteen yr old, he has been known to pass them on to his mates. I've started a long one (a long time ago!) but it keeps getting put onto back burner for your reason.
I don't think I could EVER make myself stop reading for fun so I could concentrate on writing.
Respect shout out to committed writers everywhere!
