Title: Great premise, terrible execution
Product review: An idea is a terrible thing to waste, and Becker takes a fascinating premise for a novel and detroys it with awful writing, tissue-thin characterization, and thinly veiled proselytizing. I am always willing to give an author the benefit of the doubt, but this book is so bad I would dissuade anyone from even thinking of reading it.I always get suspicious when an author is decribed as a "director and screenwriter for film and television" but no details are provided for projects he wrote or directed. In this case, perhaps it's because Becker's screenwriting is as wretched as his novel writing.
