Negative Positive
Title: Tight, Focused, Relentless, and BORING.
Review: Especially, boring. I yearned to be killed by the demonic life-form that forms the centre-piece of this excessively long and curiously shallow dog so that I would be relieved of the tedium of finishing it. I skip-read the last 150 pages and I suggest following my approach only more so - skip-read the title and move on.Another nail in the coffin of following precedent as a guide to new books - in this case the precedent is of course Mr Scott's thriller A Simple Plan, beautiful, stark, gripping.
