Title: Gave up after 150 pages
Review: Tim certainly starts well -- I read FACE and his collection of short stories -- but he seems to end up padding the novels (FACE) and then just ending them without tying up the loose ends.DESOLATION started out really interesting, but then nothing really happens. And then nothing really happens. And then it takes 10 pages for a character to leave the apt and walk downstairs and outside...and nothing really happens. So I started skimming. Then skipping pages. Then I gave up about page 150.I think Tim's short stories/novellas are great because they are more or less "short" and it seems he feels the need to pad the novels to make them longer. At any rate, I'll keep "trying" his books because I think sooner or later, he'll hit a home run.
