Title: Mostly Junk
Product review: Bentley's first novel is a good outline of his career that was to follow, in so far as his writing habits for longer stories are concerned - a good start, gratuitous sex and gore, paper thin characters and a very anti-climatic ending. Most of his longer novels are simply a journey from the promising to the disappointing, and "The Revelation" isn't any different.After a boring prologue and an interesting first half, the story falls apart and meanders it's way to a lame, easily accomplished ending for the main characters. By the time you get there, you've lost what interest you had in his characters and feel very detatched from their dilemma.I wouldn't recommend "The Revelation" to anyone. It's not his worst novel (that would be without any doubt "The House", followed closely by "The Walking"), but this ranks pretty highly.
