Title: As dry as the landscape it depicts
Product review: I enjoy intelligent, philosophical writing, which is why I was eager to read this novel. But I found the writing to be as arid as the desert landscape it describes. I forced my way through it, hoping for something allegorical or thought-provoking. The characters were well-differentiated but shallow, and the entire thing read as if it had been outlined and then filled in. I wasn't bothered by the lack of plot, but I finished the book wondering what was the point of it all?
