Grasslands and people Book

Ummm, David Ambrose? What? This is, independently of the other book by this author that I just read (The Man Who Turned into Himself), a good book. However, seeing as I just read TMWTiH and enjoyed it... I coudln't help but notice.. this is basically the same book. I mean.. the characters are different. I'll give him that. But not THAT different.. and the situations and theme and many of the concepts... very much the same. Too much the same. This book was just from multiple perspectives. I mean, I still enjoyed the book.. but because of just having read TMWTiH, I was able to accurately predict everything that happened in this 'un. Which made it less fun. So.. I'm dissapointed in this author. I'm probably going to read his other book (Superstition) because I really DO like his writing style. But, if it's the same book as these other two.. I will not be pleased.
