Title: Just dreadful
Product review: I am usually the sort of reader who will slog on and finish a book because there might be something wonderful half-way through that was hidden at the beginning. Maybe that was true of The Iron Tree, but I could not stomach reading it long enough to find out. The writing, which others have described as "lyrical" is just dreadful. We actually had a laugh reading the particularly disasterous sections out loud. As a fan of Tolkien and Lewis, I find comparisons between this tripe and their writing faintly insulting.
