Title: Nice cover; slow-moving, overly detailed story
Review: Like a few other people here, I bought this book for its cover -- not very smart, but I was curious. (Stephen King's blurb on the cover didn't make any impression on me -- I mean, come on, hasn't he blurbed even John Saul?) The book started out intriguingly but lost its way quickly amidst too much descriptive prose, making it a chore to finish reading it. While there were flashes of humor I liked, they just weren't enough to save the story. Not a keeper.
Is the review positive or negative?
