Review: Could Have Been Better
Rating: 3 out of 5

I found the premise engaging and wanted to like this psychological novel more than I did.Unfortunately, the descriptions of the Oxford community are more developed than the characters. The plot stalls in long patches of profundity and soul-searching and staggers to an implausible ending.On the plus side, there are sections of good and beautiful writing. There are also places where we have such tedium as:"Hello. How are you?""I'm fine. What about you?""Whatcha been up to?"Yada, yada, yada.There are also a plethora of typos, which doesn't help. An editor would have been beneficial.
