Negative Positive
Title: Disappointing
Review: Impressed with the positive reviews this book received, I decided to give it a read, but finished feeling like I wasted my time. I'll skip discussing thing like technique, writing style, etc. and just cut to the chase - I didn't particularly like the story. There were some parts that I found entertaining, but another reviewer described it best as a "confection". It never felt like there were any teeth here, and in particular, I found Locke's character inconsistent with the stature attributed to him. Writing "clever" is very difficult, and the action in this book never seemed as clever as the character was supposed to be.
Is the review positive or negative?
