Negative Positive
Title: Just plain bad writing
Review: Like another reviewer, I didn't get very far into this book before giving up on it (though I didn't actually throw it across the room). It wasn't just that it was boring and long-winded, it was simply that Mr. Bear is a bad writer. Cliches abound. He seems to enjoy using colors to describe everything! "The gray xyz was next to a white abc which had a blue-green exterior and a pinkish lid, etc, etc." The romance between the characters is like something you'd read in a crappy romance novel "she stood above the ridge looking strong. Noble. Gorgeous." Ugh!
