Query: Very predictable

The title says it all - I got about half way through the book before I had figured out most of the ending. At that point, I read the last 10 pages, confirmed my suspcions and put it down again, never to pick it up. The beginning was fine, even interesting. But once you hit the 5th or 6th chapter, it all goes down hill. The only redeeming quality this book has, actually, is the way the author infuses moments in history and literature with these creatures he writes about. Other wise, don't bother dropping money on this title, or at least wait until it comes out as a mass market paperback.
