Negative Positive
Title: If this can get published, I've got to start writing.
Review: If this novel was half as good as the raves (from such literary giants as People and Kirkus) suggest, we'd be talking Pulitzer here. However, I wasn't impressed. I found the dialogue tedious, and at times downright stupid. Our hero, who heads an investigation firm picked the most absurd times to decide his investigation would end. And my God, he had a CRUCIAL piece of evidence that he carried in his pocket and neglected to get the damn thing translated from Italian or just plain forgot about it! It was so frustrating. And his inane questions...please. Oh, and the "shocking ending"? Like I couldn't see that coming. But I'm not going to spoil it for you. I will tell you that there is another novel I've read that has a similar premise and is a far superior read. The only problem is I can't reveal what it is because the concept is actually a spoiler for this novel. Send me an email if you want the title.
