Title: Couldn't do it
Product review: You know you're in trouble with a book when, after the first few chapters, you can barely muster up enough interest to pick it up and continue reading. I couldn't get past the sixth chapter of this thing. It's possibly unfair to write a review of something not even half read, but based on the first few chapters, this (for me) was horrible. The author bogs the reader down with how the main character FEELS about EVERYTHING, instead of driving the story forward. When a character in a story does something as simple as reach for a doorknob, is it really necessary to write a page and a half on the whirwind of emotions going on within the character at that precise moment? Maybe in some cases, the answer is yes. However, it's tedious to employ this mechanism CONSTANTLY throughout the story. I wanted to slap the lead character in 'Shadow Man'; not root for her.
