Negative Positive
Title: Can you give negative stars?
Review: I picked up this book in an airport as a last resort to Tom Clancy. I came to the conclusion, about 40 pages into the most stultified prose I've ever read, that I would have been better off with Tom Clancy. Even the BEST author can't make an introduction of 8 people last 80 pages and keep the dialogue flowing. Her characters have no personality; I could not find anything likeable about Colton, and Ariana came off as a silly bimbette. Plot? I couldn't parse through the prose far enough to get to a plot, although of course Roger did it; that he was a villain (whatever the crime) was obvious from his first entrance. This author needs a good editor and some lessons in character development and how to write clean, clear dialogue with some wit and humor. Euw. Bad book. Bad book.
