Review title: As suspenseful as a Bugs Bunny cartoon Product review: The reviews of this book mistakenly describe it as suspenseful. It isn't. Suspense is not what I call periodic action interspersed with page after page of meandering prose. Perhaps I should be more respectful of Edwardson's descriptive passages on the death of Winter's father or his introspection preceding the birth of his first child, but they are page filling without contribution to the story. And poor Patrik, the young paper boy, who is set up to be a critical factor in the solution of the mystery only to be left completely out of the ending. Speaking of the ending, its hard to see how any of the police procedures described in the book have much to do with the end result. With only pages left, SURPRISE, one suspect simply leads Winter to the culprit.I'm as much disappointed in the people who gave this book rave reviews as I am i the author.

Review title: We're All Afraid of Virginia Woolf Product review: Some bad movies like Operation Eichmann have a certain campiness that makes them almost fun to watch. This movie has no such redeeming virtue. It is not just bad, it is bad in an arty, pseudo-intellectual phony sort of way. Granted the acting is good, given the circumstances. It goes on and on like a hangover or a bad joke with no humor or punch line. The characters are repulsive and obnoxious. Did I mention boring? You feel the author is admiring his own pointless dialogue and certain audiences may find it profound because they think there is something they ought to be getting. There is not. SPOILER. You find out at the end the couple are fighting about a non-existent child they never had. At the conclusion the child is verbally "killed" so that the marriage can live. Who cares if the miserable marriage lives? Do yourself a favor and have a root canal instead of watching this movie.
