Monster Hunter Memoirs: Grunge, Volume 1 by John Ringo, Larry Correia
1.0
I'm not sure why Correia let this other author play in his playground. This book was nothing but glorified fan-fic. Sure, it was better written than fan-fic, but it read like the wet dream of a conservative guy from the midwest who loves Japanese culture and thinks he's smart.
The whole character of Chad was wish fulfillment for Ringo. The character is smart and got all A's until he decided to get C's. Sounds like someone is trying to justify the lack of stellar academic performance in childhood. "I was really brilliant, I just chose to get C's".
The character is sexist, racist, and horribly repulsive, at the same time all of the other characters love him and he can do no wrong.
Sure, Corriea's books had some of the same problems, but they were offset by a lot of other stuff enough to make them readable. The tripe that Ringo calls a book has no redeeming qualities and I won't be reading another book by him again.
