Negative Positive
Title: Complex and well written, yet about nothing
Review: Sheesh, was this a disappointment. I hate to bag on a talented writer...but this one would never have made it, had it not been written by a guy with a track record. If you've read the other reviews, folks have already talked about one of the main weaknesses of the book, but let me put it in this spoiler free way: Mr. Smith ran out of gas. He spent roughly 450 pages setting up the story, setting, and most especially the "baddie", and then wraps it up in a swift 20 pages or so. I only finished it to see how he would pull it off, and it was a cheap, lame ending like you see in terrible, direct to DVD horror movies.
Is the review positive or negative?
