Review title: An obvious beginner...
Product review: I was born in the Carolinas and usually try to read authors that capture the flavor of the South. I discovered this book purely by accident, and accident is the best description I can muster for this amateurish drivel. The character development never quite came through though you could tell that the author seemed to love them somewhat. Maybe he was to connected to the characters instead of letting them develop along with the plot line. The story could have had it's moments, but always seemed to be overshadowed by the author's need to appear intelligent rather than simply telling the story. Based on the reviews I read, I was expecting more but my suggestion would be for Walzak to take a few classes before making a second attempt. I could see potential, but the overall effect to me was one of self-serving gratification rather than writing for an audience.
