I got about a third the way through the plot summary, and found the style of writing shift significantly. It's clear another writer has taken their own shot at summarising everything beyond that, but it reads as very amateurish and disjointed, at times mentioning points for the first time as though they had come up before. Could be done a lot better than what is currently there.{{Unsigned| 58.161.50.174}}

:The summary was taken by an anonymous user from a Waypoint forum without the original author's permission. The original author wrote it in a conversational style soto discuss about the book, so it's not a wiki standard.
