Title: My first and last Coulter experience
Review: I, like others here, feel compelled to finish any book I begin, but this is one that makes me seriously rethink that comittment. Others have duly noted the multitude of flaws in the plot, but what really got to me was the insipid dialogue. NO ONE TALKS LIKE THIS! Virtually every time a character opens his or her mouth, what comes out sounds like something that would earn a generous D in a high school creative writing class. I guess I should have been alerted by the "Dear Readers" note on the back cover of the paperback edition. I know this was probably written by someone working for the Publisher, but didn't Coulter have to sign off on something over her signature? When an author tells me her book "will keep me on the edge of my seat," and promises to I'm not smart enough to solve her "surprise" ending, I should know well enough to keep my wallet in my pocket. Oh well, fool me once ...
