Negative Positive
Title: Puzzled...
Review: I bought this book because I enjoyed _The Keep_ a number of years ago, and the enthusiastic reviews I found on Amazon. I was puzzled that I found this book to be quite awful.Wilson's writing is clumbsy; his characterizations are one-dimensional (focusing on appearance, mostly); the characters' motiviations are muddled; the events in the story are not writen to be convincing or compelling. I read until page 110, hoping it might be a "good" bad novel, but it just got too embarrassing. Some readers might enjoy this book, having first set low expectations. I decided to spend my time elsewhere.
Is the review positive or negative?
