Title: "Wholly" annoying...
Review: Am I the only one who noticed (and was very annoyed) by his over use of the word "wholly"? It's like he attempted to jam this word in as many times as he could just because he liked the sound of it and it totally turned me off. Flat characters, ridiculous amount of repetition (really, the entire list of conspirators EACH AND EVERY TIME???) and dull scenes that were either totally preposterous or just plain stupid. 100 pages less and this book could have gotten two stars from me instead of just one.That being said, I've been a huge fan of Folsom up to this point (The Day After Tomorrow is one of my favorites) so maybe he was just having an off day/year with this one. Don't be completely turned off by him until you've read The Day After Tomorrow...a much better read and truer to his style than this.
