Negative Positive
Title: SF Prisoner of Zenda made boring by bad writing.
Review: (I keep finding good reviews of things here so this is some balance). After the summary there's not a lot more to say really. The plot is lifted from elsewhere which would not be bad if RH had done something interesting with it. Instead it just plods along with an array of poorly drawn characters (particularly the women), lazy plotting and appallingly clumsy writing. And no - the politics is not the problem . . . Like being caught in a bar by your boring old uncle Ralph who really, really wants to tell you a story.... Dire. (Amazon: Why is there no Zero Star option, chaps?)
Is the review positive or negative?
