Title: tedium, not terror
Review: Campbell has masterfully imported the tedium of corporate America, with its fake cheerfulness and its ruthless struggles for power. What's missing in all this is any sense of terror; most of us know this world too well to find it frightening, and Campbell doesn't give us the kind of pathology of place that makes, for instance, Shirley Jackson's sour spots -- especially Hill House -- so enthralling. As for the plot, skip any fifty pages after the first and see if it makes much difference.
