Title: Crass commercial cash-in!
Product review: It becomes evident early on that the work is geared toward film adaptation. Much of the material comes across as unnecessary and expendable. The plots are feeble and the ending is unnatural, and throughout, we encounter tense situations that are artificial, at best. Critical acclaim and commercial success have rendered the author lethargic in his prose. Apparently he is interested more in cashing a big paycheck than producing memorable literature. Nevertheless, the material will likely gain acceptance from the credulous movie-going public, much like last summer's film version of `New Mexico' and the straight-to-video `California Rules of Civil Procedure III: Beach Barristers.'
