Title: Worst Maguire Book by Far
Product review: Maguire's obfuscatory writing style and disconnected plots actually worked pretty well in his three other books, based on well-known stories. Without the underpinning of those plot lines, though, his writing is too haphazard to make much sense. It doesn't help that his main character is almost a blank slate. There is so much unsaid throughout the book, and events seem to mean nothing and go nowhere. Worst of all, the mysteries don't entice the reader; they're just annoying and boring. I enjoyed the other three books, but this one is work to get through. Stick to the other three and avoid this one.
