Negative Positive
Title: Who wrote this book?
Review: I've read several of Thomas Cook's books, including THE CHATHAM SCHOOL AFFAIR and RED LEAVES, both well-written, insightful page-turners (putting aside the obvious flaw in RED LEAVES).Short of a mental breakdown, there is no way the author of the above outstanding novels (and others) could have penned this sophomoric book. Populated by wooden characters; infused with barren description; steeped in empty, simple and inane dialogue; the book reads like the work of a middle-schooler.
