Title: Starts promising, doesn't go anywhere
Product review: A friend picked this book up from the library based on reading the first two pages - I bought it based on the same. It had me hooked for a while as having so much information packed in each sentence kept my interest; however, while that format works for an intimate scene between two people it has the opposite effect when it takes three pages to do simple tasks like getting dressed. Often, the action feels like it's extremely slow because so much information goes into every meticulous detail.There's also a section where we get to see what went on during the protagonist's childhood. Again, I was intrigued as it offered a view into what crafted Iago into the man he is, but then I was disappointed to find out that it became to BULK of the novel.Ultimately, this book had a lot of promise but the character never grows and the story (whatever there is) gets lost in the details.
