Title: Huge disappointment
Review: I was quite satisfied with "Summer of night" (while the ending wasn't that great, the writing was excellent, suspense never faded) so I had some high expectations of his work 'Song of Kali'.What a disappointment this book is. All characters are cardboard-like (one would think Simmons would have at least some character development, maybe not an a lá King, but 300+ pages obviously didn't allow him to do that? I felt there is more character development in any of the S. King's short stories @ 15-20 pages) and the dialogue is painfully boring and stiff.The plot is "ok", only at a first glance, but the way he tries to get deeper into it (or the lack of it!) leaves much to be desired. I felt like Mr Simmons had a great idea but got tired of it along the way, and sent the first draft to the editor and later the publisher company.
Is the review positive or negative?
