Review: "Rushed and Undeveloped"
Rating: 2 out of 5

Bought the book cos' I thought the concept of someone with only an hour of consciousness a day would provide an interesting read.  And early on in the story, it did seem like the potential was there.  However, at some point, the author decided to rush the story, having Henry (the main character) taking all these actions to solve the mystery with no underlying info on how or why he was choosing these actions.  H###,  Henry spent more time talking to his cat than explaining to the reader his logic.  Also, the fact that this character (given his time constraints) would take it upon himself to do some of the things he did, like drive out to Las Vegas, seemed far-fetched.  Overall, when I finished the story, I felt cheated -that the author had used a very promising "hook" to get readers' attention -but then put together a slap dash story of not much substance that was only partially held together due to the likeability of Henry's character.  Readers should also be aware that this story is an extended short story and not a full length book
