Review title: not emporium
Product review: I purchased emporium some time ago and loved Adam's Short stories. They were well imagined and the action moved quickly. This novel, his first, is well written. Adam Johnson knows how to write. However, the story just sort of plods along like a basset hound without legs. The first hundred pages or so are deluded with foreshadow and the imaginative although totally unrealistic plot suffers. I read about 120 pages hoping I'd make it to some sort of action packed-adjective soaked-ground breaking sequence... but unfortunately it just never comes. Buy emporium!
