Query: Blech.

I rarely stop reading a book, but within the first 25 pages I was already falling asleep.I've listened to the GraphicAudio productions of Elizabeth Moon's Familias Regnant and Vatta's War series, which led me to believe I might like other military sci fi/space opera. Then I picked up this book and another. I barely made it through the other book I picked up because it was so tedious. When I got to this book, though, I gave up entirely .(I saw it going downhill from the start, but that "white command beret" thing was where the downhill plunge picked up speed--just something about it, I guess.) I really don't understand all the positive reviews for this book. I didn't find that I couldn't put the book down; I got to the point where I couldn't bring myself to pick it back up.
