Title: tense, but leaves you cold
Review: Moral ambiguity is great but this is no Maltese Falcon. The mood is right, the writing is taut. But in the end you couldn't care less about what happens to the main character (whose level of detachment and egotism must set some kind of record for the genre.) Worst of all are the author's literary pretensions, quie laughable considering the weak character development. Sexy? Yes. Unfortunately it's as deep as a fishbowl, and as hollow as one.
Is the review positive or negative?
