Title: Great Writing; Terrible Story
Product review: I adored The Terror by Dan Simmons. Despite a few unbelievable scenes in The Terror, I was intrigued enough by it to cast my luck with another novel by Dan. Carrion Comfort by the back sounded like just the story. What I got was great writing and a disappointing story. The most interesting character was Melanie because she truly was psychopathic and horrible to those whom she Used. All the other characters, which are beautifully drawn, are completely unbelievable. The plotting is crazy; pacing irregular. The situations are preposterous and unreal and kept jarring me out of the reader's trance. I was thoroughly disgusted by this book, so much so that I haven't even finished the last 100 pages. As for people complaining the book is too long, I agree. Not because there are too many pages to turn, but because there are too many pages of a disappointing story.
