Shape modeling international '99 Book

It was okay, I guess, I mean, I liked the writing, which consisted of very long sentences, as long as half a page it seemed at times, put together by many phrases, one after the other, but actually went together very well. I think this book could've earned a four star rating, but it suffered from a couple problems. First off, there were two significant editing issues. The first involves a character switch, an early chapter starts with Folsom heading out with Closter, but then a couple paragraphs later he is with Stark. I read the passage several times to see if I missed something, but I'm convinced it's an actual error. The other occurs later in the book where there is a scene describing Folsom showing the runic stone to Nina for the first time. However, earlier in the book, the author describes Folsom showing the runic stone to the other members of the team right after he finds it. The other problem is that the later third of the book becomes needlessly abstract to the point of making one wonder just what the heck is going on. At least for me.
