Title: Drowning in a vat of syrup
Review: I was asked to read this book and did so with an open mind. The idea of exploring the emotions of a flawed desperate man ready to take his own life should have led any reasonable author to explore the minefield of emotions which must consume such a 'lost' individual. What do we get with this book? a lesson in silliness and overbearing sentimentality. It is a truly awful unintelligent book. The author does not appear to have been close to anyone who has been on the brink of suicide for the main character is a flat, cardboard cut-out without substance and who elicits not sympathy from the reader. His relationship with his dead mother is superficial and fails to uncover anything interesting to justify the storyline. Why am I wasting more time on it with this review? Time to stop.
Is the review positive or negative?
