Title: Sadly, a disappointment.
Product review: I share many of the same impressions as G. Makarski in her review of 10/22.The marketing of the book as a comparison to DaVinci pretty much guarantees you will be disappointed. This is unfortunate, as the book has interesting qualities of its own, but should not have been compared with a story of suspence. You'll note many of the reviews here come to the same conclusion; slow, unfocused, and awkwardly written at times, but with some rewarding moments all of which pertain to human relationships, especially between these young men. It seems to me that all of the ingredients were here for a really great book, but it should have been edited down to perhaps one/half its length, removing the clutter that subtracts rather than adds, especially in the latter third of the book.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
