Argh.
Another book where the first few (four, in fact), were
excellent, and the fifth feels like the author was doing something else while plotting this one. Its not
bad, but it's certainly not as good. I wonder if books
have to be written close together to have the same 'feel'?

I feel your pain. I finish one out of every 20 books I start.
Wow. I thought I was afflicted, with finishing perhaps 70%. I wonder if anyone has ever done a paper on WHY book X in a series doesn't do well. Course, that might lead to writing formulaicly (is that a word?) which isn't desirable.
I wonder if the author knew his book was weak and would disappoint but was sick of writing it and so took it to his publisher anyway?
And the publisher figured Ah, the groupies will like it, no matter what. Could be right.
