Review title: 100 Words or Less
Product review: The stiff construct of this novel is overwhelming.Like the character and his setting, the prose proves to be self-involved and restricted. The words thud across the page with so much leaden "meaning" that I simply struggle to continue. The pace is lethargic, the emotional string-pulling is typical, and it all provides little reason to continue.Maybe this novel is a victim of its era? Maybe its formula is so used by now, that I couldn't approach it with a fresh eye. Well, for whatever reason, I tried to slog forward, but to no avail. I stopped after two chapters.
