Title: poorly written; poorly read
Product review: I suppose it's a tour de force in a way: a best-selling thriller in which 90% of the sentences have the verb "to be" as their main verb. Was it that I was listening to it in the car rather than reading it? Did its faults of style and diction stand out more to a listener? (Examples: "prone" for "supine;" "like" as an adverb; excessive use of superlatives as "the most amazing thing he had ever seen") Colin Stinton, the reader, added to the sleaze by attempting a different accent for each character, some of whose names he couldn't pronounce..... The thought that this book has remained on the best seller list for weeks appalls me.
