Title: Yawn
Review: I'd say that of the over 300 pages of words filling Mitchell's book, there are maybe 10 or 15 pages that are worth reading. The rest is soporific material to be injested as a sleeping aid right before bedtime.Mitchell managed to make an intrinsically exciting story dull in the mere act of reporting on it. Still, I give her credit for making a go of it. Better to try and fail than not try at all. The people I disrespect the most are those who provided the blurbs to the powers-that-be at Hyperion. While it's a common thing to do, I think if any of these book-jacket-name-lenders had actually read Mitchell's book, they would have politely declined to deposit favors in the editor's/publisher's favor bank this time around. Just my personal take on the matter, of course -- who knows, maybe my standards are a little higher than theirs.
