Title: Great Read
Review: Having read the insightful reviews that have come before, I'll begin by saying I find them all pretty accurate.Mr. Townsend seems to have a skill to paint word pictures on a vast, sweeping canvas, and simultaneously ink in exquisite detail. He smoothly moves between presenting a visionary's alternate worldview and its consequences, then meticulously focusing in on a character's interior landscape. Quite an art!In decades of reading fiction, I don't recall another male author who seemed so adept at describing female emotions, or detailing the feminine response to an intimate encounter. I find it almost uncanny, and definitely noteworthy.I enthusiastically add my vote to the earlier reviewer's observation that she awaits a sequel. This novel, while whole unto itself, begs a sequel.
Is the review positive or negative?
