Review title: Good idea, terrible execution
Product review: All in all, the plot in this story was interesting--a quest to find the inner self that ends in self-destruction in Alaska... It could have been made good, except that it was so BAD!Shapero's writing style reminds me of a horrible dime-store romance novel, in which he tells us rather than shows us, and leaves nothing up to us to debate about. His characters are cheesey and unrealistic, and his main female character is inconsistent and offensive to women. I did not read the prologue (I guess I didn't see it), so the ending wasn't completely ruined for me, but I went back and read it after I finished, and it would have been much better as an epilogue.Truly bad bad writing. Although I think I will have to read it again... One reviewer suggested reading it imagining Sam/Ransom as Will Ferrell... that cracks me up...Overall, this book wasn't worth the nothing I paid for it.
