Title: Impressive knowledge of grammar
Review: The author is very competent in his use of grammar and has a good grasp of the English language. If only he had a proper understanding of the art of telling a story, this book might have had a chance of sustaining the reader's attention. This pedestrian attempt at 'spinning a good yarn' was laughable in its cumbersome but predictable plot development. The characters were no more than silhouettes projected on a gossamer screen, so transparent that they simply expired in the overblown prose.
