Negative Positive
Title: Was there an editor, or even a writer involved?
Review: Did everyone attempt to read the same book that I did? I only got about 20 pages into the novel and found that I had to stop reading it... why? This is the most poorly edited book I have ever read in my life! I found myself questioning my own reading ability in trying to read this book. Words, sentence structure, and tenses seem to be slapped together in a total attempt to be absolutely incoherent. Like I said, I started blaming myself - that maybe I was too tired when sitting down and reading this - but after showing other people the claptrap that seemed to plague the first 20 pages I realized that this book was desperately in search of an editor and, I hate to say it, a writer. If this is the style that Ramsey Campbell has evolved in to then I can seriously understand why he had to get a second job and work in a bookstore.
Is the review positive or negative?
