Title: The Pot Never Boiled
Review: Feh. Mike writes, what, a "book" in seven days. This "book" [read filmscript treatment] is thin stuff. Skin back the plot and here's the summary. Chapter Oneish: Look there's a rock, a puddle, a hole, a river, a bad guy. Rest of book: Have characters fall into hole, get out of hole, fall into puddle, get out of puddle, fall into river, get out of river, fight with bad guy, kill bad guy Well, you get it. No character development to speak of, and really quite little interesting interaction with historical setting. The historical characters and their relationships with each other are not developed at all. Much of character's actions are left unexplained, and there's a very obvious editorial gaff when Kate escapes to a "narrower" ceiling beam that is actually twice as wide. Very sloppy, very quickly put together stuff. Maybe good for a dumb Hollywood flick, but for a book, this is gossamer thin stuff indeed.
