Title: Disappointment
Product review: I read the back of this book and was very attracted to the premise. However I felt that Benford fell short of my expectations on many counts. He spent a great deal of the book furnishing us with irrelevant aspects of the characters lives whilst neglecting to fully explain some of the more important aspects of the book, for example the 1998 ecological situation.His characters appeared very clichéd and I felt upon reading this novel that Benford is a complete misogynist under the impression that women will succumb to any man without a second thought. It seems he has a very over-inflated ego regarding his sexual prowess.This book was one I had to plough through and although I enjoyed the end I felt he did not fully develop or explain events and that this story would be better served as a short story eliminating a lot of the unnecessary rambling prose. The style of writing indicated someone trying desperately to impress with vocabulary however this only succeeded in excluding the reader.
