Title: Had potential, but in the end it wasn't realized
Product review: I liked the premise and I enjoyed the writing style - the author writes a great deal like Stephen King (in a good way).Having said that, in my opinion the Harvest has a few critical flaws:- The descriptions in child-speak of the internal thoughts of the alien were too numerous and by about the halfway point were annoying me to the point where I just started skipping entire pages.- The last couple chapters were too short and I felt could have used more fleshing out. It had the shell of the action, but too much wasn't even explained properly ("Wait, did he die or what? What happened to the girl?")- The final discussion on the alien seemed to sum up in a way that seemed to hint that the entire story was irrelevant, which is a weird way to leave it. I felt, oddly, like I was being told outright *by the author* that I wasted my time reading this book.Maybe worth a read if you absolutely love Stephen King, but otherwise I would give it a pass.
