Title: Was it written for reviewers instead of readers?
Review: As a three-books-a-week reader, I looked forward to Clarke's opus. Great disappointment! The novel seems to have been written for major book reviewers of the world instead of readers.The characters are one-dimensional -- even Jonathan doesn't come to life -- the insider jokes are tiring, and the plot's twists and turns are too obviously manipulated.All in all -- thumbs down.
Is the review positive or negative?
