Review: Good Concept

While I liked the concept of the story and the central character, there were elements of the writing that really bothered me. Maybe it was just me, but I thought the central character was too quick to accept the death of his wife and get back to work. There was more plot in the story than emotion, and I always connect with characters on an emotional level. The editor in me also wanted to take a red pencil to some of the dialogue. The dialogue that was just filler with lots of polite exchanges could have been smoothed out. In other places the dialogue was great, so the filler became much more irksome as I continued to read. But again, this is just one person's opinion and other readers may get caught up in the plot and be able to ignore the things that kept getting in my way.
