Query: Not as good as his best, but don't be put off by negative reviews

I'm a fan of all the League of Peoples books, but held off on reading Commitment Hour for a long time because of the negative reviews written about it. I shouldn't have. While the book isn't as good as James Alan Gardner's best, it's a quick, fun, well-written story. I would recommend that people start with some of his other League of Peoples books first, but his fans shouldn't pass on Commitment Hour.
