Negative Positive
Title: great premise, but......
Review: I randomly picked this book up in a bookstore. The back sounded interesting (then again they all do) but I was disappointed by the story's execution. He saves all of his revelations for the last 3 pages, (not nearly enough) and the rest of the book is confusing and boring. There is no character development, and what is going on with the secondary characters is never fully explained. It's too bad, especially as he had a great initial premise. If you want good apolyptic writing try The Handmaids Tale by Margaret Atwood (feminist) or Good Omens by Terry something and Neil something (humor). Horror seems like the right genre for apolyptic stories, but so far I haven't found any authors that I like or any books that competently dealt with it.
Is the review positive or negative?
