Review title: Wordy, self conscious and gratuitous
Product review: Carr's writing style is really a problem here. A great English teacher once told me to write a sentence, then rewrite it at least twice to make it shorter. Before he ventures into another novel I would suggest he reads a few Hemingway novels to cut the unecessary verbage out of his work. I also can't help but think that the author had visions of a movie deal in his head the whole time he was writing this book; the dialogue is very self conscious and unrealistic. Finally, the violence is way overboard - gratuitous and totally unecessary to make the story successful.
