Negative Positive
Title: Frustrating almost-there thriller
Review: Smith has written a page-turner, but it's like cotton candy--tastes good going down but of no substantive value; in fact after you finish you won't feel good.Perhaps Smith meant this as an allegory about the passive yuppie-wannabes, but the characters' lack of common sense and, even more so, lack of intelligent curiosity kinda had me rooting for the, um, big bad. They have clues and they don't even look at them; they don't even try to find a way to defeat the evil.I'm sorry I spent the money on a hardcover.
