Title: Not a novel, but notes for one
Review: I love bug books! I'll read anything I can get my hands on, and have no problem with it. But this book needs to be written. It is a major disappointment, and I feel like the author should refund my money. What we have here is either (1) a filmscript, of director's notes, or (2) the author's notes that he "forgot" needed to be made into a novel. It is being narrated by a disinterested observer, and there is no guts to it. "The old poachers have had a slow night...." Now let me EXPERIENCE what the poachers are feeling and seeing. In all my years of reading fiction, I have NEVER seen this before. It fails, miserably. Wolfgang: nice idea, I think; now write the book, and send me a copy.
Is the review positive or negative?
