Title: Interesting story, but graceless writing
Product review: Half way through this novel, I find it harder and harder to continue. The characters are well thoughtout and convincing in their point of view, and the interaction of the each of the subplots is nicely woven.However, the langauage used by the author, to me, lacks poetry and verve. This is maybe why the author couldnt (or didnt) find a publisher (this is a self-published book).Its obvious from the story telling, that the author is of great intelligence and imagination, but his writing style totally didnt work for me. I love the topic and loved the characters, but this just didnt come together for me.I wanted to give this book two stars, but its my own personal policy to never give anything other than 1 star to a book I cannot finish.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
