Negative Positive
Title: Weak writing, weak ending.
Review: This was my first (and last) Griffin book. As I commenced reading, I thought, "ah lots of characters, this is goiing to be a rich plot as the author crafts a tale to blend all these parts together." How wrong I was. Griffin provides details of these new cast members, and then promptly discards most of them. And he is still introducing new characters after 100 pages. And this is part of the reason that there is no rhythem to the book...his interesting plot is strangled by distracting detail and weak plot building technique. I felt as if he was writing a book following the dot-to-dot method, and at the end, he just got bored with it and, realizing that it was time to end it, just tossed in of a few pages of writing to end it. A five star concept that became a one star book.
Is the review positive or negative?
