Title: Nice plot, awful writing
Review: Mr. Brown's plot is thought-provoking and complex, though his writing reminds one of the entries in a high school literary magazine. It's a shame that such an interesting premise was tarnished by poor writing. Mr. Brown's heavy-handed foreshadowing makes what could have been several interesting plot twists obvious and mundane, and his liberal doses of "character development" read like his editor told him he had to put in some background on the main characters...on pages 87, 225, 316, and so on...making the supposedly enlightening looks into the histories of the characters seem misplaced and trite.Next time, Mr. Brown, come up with the story-line and let someone with real writing talent author the book.
