Title: What a stinker!
Product review: What a stinker on ice! I swear, I don't care about a single one of these characters, and the plot is so meandering... it's like being lost in someone's dream. While I find dreams interesting, they generally aren't coherant enough for a 500 page novel.I enjoy a wide variety of books, and I'm usually pretty forgiving. I usually read a book of this length in a day or two, this one took me over a week. Far from being the "book you can't put down" this book just seemed to ramble on and on. Each new plot twist seemed like a gratuitous and poorly thought through whim on the part of the author. I really felt that Clive Barker was riding his reputation with this one, as I doubt it would have sold well at all without his name, or even if he'd been able to get it published.
