Review title: Incredibly dull and ininspired writing
Product review: This had the potential of being a great book with an original story. Unfortunately the characters and places never became real and there was no real sense of suspense. The writer unskillfully used numerous adjectives to try to describe people and place, but never managed to evoke a real sense of them. I never once felt a thrill of horror, fear or suspense. Sometimes the plot seemed full of holes, with people's actions seeming very contrived in order to move along to the next plot device. And the epistolary style was vastly overused. Jonathon Norrell and Mr. Strange was a hundred times more skillfully and beautifully wrought. The Da Vinci Code was a hundred times more exciting and fast paced. I was really disappointed and slogged my way through only because I'd spent $25 on it - waste of money frankly.
