Negative Positive
Title: good start, but...
Review: I found the start of the book rather compelling, but it quickly turns into a rather predictable and simplistic story. His major characters are two dimensional (which made fochs's description of himself as a piece of paper rather ironic) and uninteresting; by the story's end, I felt no connection with anyone or anything in the story as having some semblence to reality. Even the therapist appears contrived. However, I enjoyed the way Evenson set up the story--as a collection of papers from the therapist, letters, and thoughts from the mind of the killer. Very unique and interesting; hence, 2 stars rather than one.
