Tales of the Ketty Jay

review 1: The book starts off exactly like the first two books and pretty much follows a similar pattern to its predecessors. The punches come in the right moment, elaborate action scenes which reminded me of movie scenes and an almost desperate attempt to provide character depth.Frey gets dared and opens the package he is explicitly asked not to do so. Thus the story begins. This very idea troubled me from the start as Frey continues to do his brash things and the character remains shallow. Jez and Crake are the saving grace for this book.The book is fun to read with chase scenes, gun fights, explosions and heists. But the contexts which involves these scenes don't have much credibility or the importance it deserves. It was good to read same style in first book, alright in second a... morend boring in third.For me, Ketty Jey is no Serenity.
review 2: I did not know how easy it would be to jump in to the middle of a series, but it only took a little bit of tome to get caught up with the crew of the Ketty Jay in Chris Wooding's exciting book. Once I got caught up and in the middle of the action this book kept my attention through a series of exciting adventures. Wooding has several plots going on at the same time, but it is easy to keep track of the action. He does a masterful job of keeping the story moving and neatly ties everything together with a thrilling conclusion. I received the copy through the Firstreads program and it was a great addition to my collection less
