Negative Positive
Title: After the Hype
Review: The buzz generated more than deserving word-of-mouth ... and, yes, the expectations ranked high. But after all the hoopla ... Smith's novel took off with an interesting start ... until it dwindled into the level of predictable and even incorrigible. When the reader ends up breezing through the pages, discerning the suspenseful from the all-too-fantastic, the interest must have been lost somewhere.
