Title: Wooden Characters and Clumsy Writing
Review: I would have given this book one star but the premise of the story was interesting enough to rate the second star despite the very poor writing. This novel was a reminder for me not to purchase a book just because it has a gay theme and is written by a gay author. The characterization was so wooden that it was almost humorous. The reviews I read must have been written by the author's friends or someone who has a lot of copies in inventory. I normally wouldn't dream of doing this, but I actually threw the thing in the trash after forcing myself to finish it. I don't mean to be nasty, but I felt a little betrayed by the reviews. It's hard to imagine very many readers giving this 4 stars.
Is the review positive or negative?
