Negative Positive
Title: 1 star since 0 stars is not an option.
Review: Okay, first of all I guess this book wouldn't have been even half as bad if it hadn't been marketed as a thriller. About 95% of the book was just about the hero's life history and the book does NOT have even one proper action sequence. It's just talk, talk, talk, spend a hundred pages explaining how the hero used to have a psychic gift when he was a boy (which has aboslutely NOTHING to do with the story.), talk some more, then just wrap the story up with a very vague action scene that ends in less than page.Now dont get me wrong. I like a good low-key intellectual thriller with good characterisation just as much as anyone else but it's just that around 95 percent of the book is completely irrelevant to the plot and it is very boring if you read the book, expecting it to be a thriller. It reads more like the life account of a man, which if it had been marketed as, I would have given it 4 stars.
