Title: A Commute in Overdrive
Product review: This really is a pretty long, boring commute. The traffic doesn't move much, and the road takes the reader through a whole lot of over-complicated and over-decorated scenery. Not to overdo the metaphor (but why not? Marlys Millhiser certainly does) I felt as though I were stuck in traffic, looking out my car window while a group of strangers hurried past me. I didn't care about them, and they didn't stop long enough to include me in the events. Add to that a gimmicky prose style, a virtually unintelligible dialogue, and a synthetic and twisted plot--and you have this novel: a perfectly awful journey that couldn't end fast enough. Avoid the drive.
