Title: WARNING! DO NOT READ the first 4 pages of part one
Review: In The First Law Lescroart did NOT separate the prologue from Part One. Therefore he gives the ending away. And between that and the first few pages of the real beginning of thebook everything is given away. The criminals, their targets, their motivations and their MOs. No mystery left.I never read prologues for that very reason. I do NOT want to know the ending or anything for that matter before it actually happens. I'm disinclined to read further. What a waste of mymoney. I'm Disgusted!So DO NOT READ the first 4 pages of Part One. As reviewer Tucker Andersen states as a consequence of this unannounced prologue, "Thus, there is never any real mystery of whothe murderers and criminals are..." So what's the motivation of reading further? Lescroart's writing is not that hot to where I'll read it regardless.
Is the review positive or negative?
