Title: I Wish I Had Started With Some Later Works
Product review: This novel left a bad taste in my mouth. It seems padded out for length- a contract obligation. Our protagonist muses about his reaction to an event, but the reader has to wait a few chapters before finding out WHAT event caused this reaction. More often than not, the event itself is anti-climactic and makes one wonder at the dramatic reaction our protagonist experienced. The constant use of this tactic gets tiresome well before the halfway point. Finishing this novel was a task, and not a well rewarded one at that.In spite of this novel, I explored Clegg's later works and now consider myself a fan.If you're interested in Clegg, put this book at the BOTTOM of your reading list- you may miss out on some great entertainment otherwise.
