Review title: Best Novel I've Read This Year
Product review: Intrigued by the variety of comments on Richard Mason's THE DROWNING PEOPLE, I bought it - and read it in about eight hours flat. Apart from the astonishngly polished prose, what I loved is exactly what about half the people on this page seem to have disliked: the fact that you know what's going to happen way before the end.Surely this is the POINT. Because, from a position of knowledge, the reader has to watch James (the narrator) as tragedy envelopes him - unable to do anything to help or to warn.Wonderful.
