Title: Temple
Product review: I bought this book at a used bookstore, sold on the back-flap description. It started slow, had no pacing, became more ridiculous with every page, and failed to produce even one character I could sympathize with. Whether it was the author or the editor who was responsible for the extremely annoying phrasing, it did not help the story at all. The constant need to italizise, and punctuate every other phrase with an exclamation mark! made me feel I was reading someone's bad first draft. It read like a poor attempt at writing a novel that is meant to go straight to screenplay. What's doubly heartbreaking is that the other books of his sound so good. I won't be lured in, though. This one was painful enough.
