This type of Book is good for... | ||
People who don't want too much suspense or excitement, but want to just flow along with the characters. | ||
I especially liked... | ||
How the author ties things up in the end. | ||
I didn't like... | ||
The incredibly slow pace of the book. Things were as dull as the main character's feelings have been since the murder of his fiancee. Things never really pick up until the very end, and even then it was easy to put the book down at any given moment. | ||
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to... | ||
Read a new book filled with action and suspense. | ||
This Book made me feel... | ||
Listless, bored, and only the tiniest bit curious about who the killer might be. | ||
The author of this Book... | ||
Usually does a better job. His characters are usually more meaningful and there is typically much more danger and suspense involved. His use of fragmented sentences as a style through out this book was also a change from his norm-- and annoying at times. | ||
I don't recommend this Book because... | ||
There is so much more out there that you could be reading instead. | ||
