Title: A desert of talent in Desert Places
Product review: The true terror of this book is that it got published. Desert Places is a dumpster-full of slasher, mindless violence upon which the thinnest of innconceivable plots is superimposed. The author and his publisher, Thomas Dunne Books, have confused gore with merit, betting that the book's sadism would pay off in the marketplace. But really, to be more honest next time, the author should dispense with writng that has no merit and simply draw pictures of bloody, tortured captives, guaranteeing immediate appeal for those who liked Desert Places while saving those who found it repugnant, or enjoy reading well-written prose, time.
