Title: Hardly the horror event of the year -- very average
Product review: This is the first book I have read by this author and was sorely disappointed. After reading all the other reviews, however, it appears that this was probably not the author's best effort. Usually, I can easily lose myself in a good, creepy read, but I found that I just could not suspend disbelief enough to get into it. I didn't think the characters were developed that well, there were a couple red herring plot lines (what was the purpose of introducing the 'X-files type' FBI agent?) and everything came together too neatly and conveniently in the end. This would be a good story to relay over a campfire, but I couldn't recommend this book to the serious, critical reader.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
