Title: This one didn't work for me.
Review: The writing was good and I loved the premise, but I found the execution somehow flawed. Maybe that's because I liked Mr. Russell's premise so much, I was disappointed to see how it actually played out in the story and plot.One disappointment, for example, was in the backstory relationships between the main characters. These were reveled with craftsmanlike skill, but oddly, rather than adding color or suspense or tension to the story, they seemed to add a distracting dissonance.As I read the book, I guess I just thought there was a better story there than the one that was told. It does make me curious, however, about the author's next novel.
Is the review positive or negative?
