Negative Positive
Title: more is definitively less
Review: I am a big Connelly fan , but this one is dissapointing. the pairing of his two strongest characters, far from improving the novel, weakens it, as Mc Caleb's assumptions are not believable for anyone who has read the previous Bosch novels, and this makes the ending obvious quite early in the book. I Agree with the reviews which pointed out mostly the same objections; the only true Connelly touch is the revelation about Bosch's REAL part in Gunn's crime. Mc caleb has no dimension as a character and comes accross weak, linear and his domestic troubles are predictable and boring. Bosch should stand alone in the future, he's a fascinating character who can sustain a book in his own right
Is the review positive or negative?
