Midworld

Average rating3
From the rich imagination of science fiction great Alan Dean Foster comes the story of Midworld, a Humanx Commonwealth planet that’s equally fragile and hostile. Covered by a lush rainforest, Midworld is home to a primitive society that lives in harmony with the natural world. But the arrival of an exploitative human company, whose workers know nothing of Midworld’s delicate ecosystem, sparks a conflict. Should Midworld’s villagers aid the humans or stand against them? The hero of Foster’s addictive page-turner, Born, decides to lead two humans across the perilous jungle. His choice propels Midworld toward annihilation—and leads him headlong into a battle for survival.

Where to even start? I read this book at the recommendation of my Dad. He had read it years ago and wanted to read it again. He explained the premise and it seemed interesting so I checked it out on Libby.
The first 20% of the book I liked, the world building was crazy. Even though it was tedious to read I was still interested.
Then the next 60% of the book I was bored to tears. I wanted to keep reading it because my dad liked it so much. I was so bored from the tedious writing. Every time the book started getting to the point it was set back 50 steps because of some danger lurking. I was like FOR THE LOVE OF GOT JUST GET TO THE SHIP!! I resorted to doing text to speech on my kindle app while I did other things just to make it through.
Then the final 20% of this book I WAS HOOKED!!!! The last 20% was the best part of the entire book, I loved the ending, I really love how things were explained and loose ends were tied up in a little bow. I felt it was a happy ending.
So, In the end I am giving it 3 stars because, although I loved the ending, that middle 60% was actual torture to get through.
In the end I am glad I read it.
