As much as I liked the story that the Flood portrayed, I couldn't stand Dietz's style of writing. He would pack too much into a sentence.
An example:
He picked up the fallen gun off the ground, looked up and down the hallway, and ran to the far end to the door.
This was not actually in the book, because I'm too lazy to grab it to write up an actual example, but that is just how he writes. Clause-comma-clause-comma-clause-period. Normally it wouldn't bug me, but if you watch for it, it happens almost every paragraph.
