Negative Positive
Title: Hard to follow, hard to connect
Review: Ar some point, a story has to "set its hook." You have to get interested. Alas, The Sacred Cut, by David Hewson, never gets to that point. From characters that are hard to follow in the context of the story, to a Kurdish refugee who is inserted into the story for I don't know what reason, to a ho-hum "confusing lines between bad guys and good guys" type plot, The Sacred Cut never really takes off.Can't win them all.
