Title: Dull and Lifeless
Product review: This is the first Patricia Cornwell I've read and, assuming it is a typical Patricia Cornwell book, I don't plan to read any of the others. People who like a writer always say, "Oh, but you read the wrong book. You should try..." I don't believe writers vary that much. This book had an uninteresting plot, flat characters, and no suspense whatsoever. The conversations were flat on the page, the men had no personalities except Marino whose character was delineated by his poor grammar. Scarpetta is barely interesting, but even so, I never believed for a moment that she would love someone as impersonal as Mark. I kept reading because I am a sucker.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
