Title: A Disappointing Waste of Talent
Product review: Connolly is a marvelous writer, but this book is marred by the use of ghosts to move along the plot. It's a pleasure to read someone as gifted as Connolly in creating characters, describing place, and portraying genuine conversations. But when the story requires belief in ghosts I lose interest.Others have described the gore in the book, and that can be a turnoff for squimish readers. I can handle the blood--that's possible; I can't handle the supernatural--there is no such stuff. Too bad Connolly wasted his writing skills with a story that's only for the fantasy-minded.
