Title: How to insult your readers
Review: Readers over grade 4 level beware: this book will confuse you. Despite good media reviews, The Codex is so badly written it's almost impossible to read. The writer uses amateur writing techniques for descriptions, his dialogues are stale and inane, characters are unidimensional and cliché. The story is interesting, although hardly original. Even if the story were the best ever, this novel cannot be read but plowed through.This is one case where the author's name, rather than the quality of writing and plot, is selling the book.
Is the review positive or negative?
