Title: interesting idea, poorly executed
Review: This novel starts with an interesting idea, but it's written poorly and in need of some heavy duty editing. The author's tortured prose is so dense with unnecessary words, bizarre adverbs, and awkward phrases I wasn't sure if I should laugh or quit reading. From page 132: `Then she realized that he was looking at her body whose intricate details were exposed through the clinging dress.' Um, what? There are many other ridiculous sentences you too can enjoy if you manage to plow through to the end. In 600 plus pages, the author must have used the word `upon' 1200 times, seemingly convinced that if on were the right word, upon would be even better. There are endless examples: `She tossed the book upon the bed,' `He lay upon her body,' `They stepped upon the train.' The author also uses adverbs bizarrely. `He slowly walked upon the slowly darkening streets.' `She glanced shyly away after looking shyly into his eyes.' Good grief!
