Negative Positive
Title: Started with such promise
Review: The first chapter of this novel just sweeps you off your feet. It was so promising that I kept reading at breakneck speed hoping for the pay-off. Instead what I got was sleezy Stephen KIng rip-offs. Oh how sad that such a talent went for potboiler instead of profound. Much like his alter-ego character, Mr. Ellis got lost instead of making the effort to be found.
