Negative Positive
Title: Two stars is a bit generous, but...
Review: I really wanted to like The Tesseract, and I couldn't have been more excited when it was released. The Beach is one of my favorite novels (if not my absolute favorite), so I fought through The Tesseract, waiting and hoping it would get interesting, but I made it to the last page and just thought, "what a waist of my time this read was." Again, I really did want to like it, and I understand what Mr. Garland was trying to accomplish with the whole "Tesseract" thing, but a decent storyline was lost in the process. Basically, I felt it didn't flow well, the characters as well as the stories were not interesting enough, and the ending was not worth the journey. Unfortunately, though Mr. Garland has written one of my favorite novels, he has also written one of my least favorite novels. I gave The Tesseract 2 stars because I have faith in Alex Garland as a writer and still look forward to reading his other works.
