Review title: Too many words
Product review: While the story line is gripping and the characters full of promise, Shane Lester's overabundance of descriptive adverbs, adjectives, and superlatives make the first chapter a slow go. One feels trapped by the shear wordiness of his writing. _Clan of Cain_ shows promise, but soon leaves the reader with the feeling that they are immersed in a picture book done with words. If you like being able to paint a perfect picture in your mind of your characters' surroundings then you'll like this book. The first sentence is an excellent example of nearly every sentence in the opening pages: "The hooves of the laggard, old, brown mule crushed the leaves lying gently on the autumn trail, which descended and stretched east into the thicket of dense trees outside Paris, Tennessee."
