Title: Can't a writer be multi-dimensional?
Review: From reading all these negative reviews, I have to wonder if a writer is permitted to stretch his talents and try new things.I can hear the assembled cries now, "Bring back the guts and the horror. Bring back psychopaths and dripping eye fluid and cateclysmic apocalypse."If that's your attitude, read some Brian Lumley or something...You can like Salem's Lot and like this too. It's OK. Really.And, no, this isn't the greatest thing he's ever written, but I liked it. I thought it was fascinating and sort of sweet, yet always suspenseful.Give the guy a break. He is a savvy observer and chronicler human behavior. He writes interestingly.I guess it comes down to the fact that no matter how good Elton John is at writing musicals, people will always clamor for Don't Go Breaking My Heart.Sort of sad, really.
Is the review positive or negative?
