Negative Positive
Title: Could have been great.
Review: Found an old hardcover of this packed away, had read it many years ago, forgotten all about it, and read it again. The premise was good, very mysterious at the start...but then it fails on several levels. Long stretches of the book are very boring. Repeated long drives, with the same thoughts in the protagonist's head. Long conversations with the same dull characters over and over. Very little action until towards the end, and even then it's blunted. I got through this book very quickly as I felt I was reading the same lines over and over. Could have been much better given the premise.
