Title: Interesting concept but who edited this?
Product review: I can't give much of a review of the story as I did not make it past the first 4 pages. I would not bother entering an opinion here except that I seem to be the only one not taken with the writing style, which is what halted my plan to read this book. Was there an editor? Within the first four pages, the author uses far, far too many metaphors in so little space to refer to the car that the main character is driving --including "an old lover," "my wheeled love," "the German girl with the perfect body and the motor to match," the girl from Stuttgart," and "my girl." This is in just 4 pages.So my advice is that if cutesy, wordy writing appeals to you, then by all means try this book--the other reviewers seemed to like it (and one even referred to it as being well-written). If you prefer the sharp, concise, far less frilly style of, say, James Patterson, you might want to pass on this.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
