Title: Could I please get my money back?
Review: I was extremely disappointed with Mr. Garland`s second novel. Apparently he is a victim all the premature praise heaped upon him for his first novel "The Beach", which although I found interesting, was essentially merely a retelling of "Lord of the Flies". In "The Tesseract" Mr. Garland attempts to write in a style far beyond that which he is capable of. The unfortunate result is a "novel" which is is not only poorly written but actually painful to read. One gets the feeling they are reading a 12-year old`s first meandering attempt at writing fiction. If Mr. Garland decides to continue writing, I hope that he realizes that his talent is not great, and that he would be best served to write in a simpler style. All in all, I very much regret having wasted my time reading "The Tesseract" and would warn all others to stay away from this worthless drivel.
