Review: Confusing and unoriginal

There were too many twists in this story to be likable.  I don't even feel like I connected with the main character at all.  It just really felt unrealistic that the main character, who is female, could do all the things that this author had her do in the story. It was almost like he mimicked James Bond and all of those other action movies.  It didn't feel original at all. Also, I just had a hard time reading the writing style. Chalked full of overly dramatic scenes with far too much description of Boston. It was like Mr. Sweeney was proving to the readers that he knew the city. I felt like it really bogged the storyline down. I have learned that a good author is one who isn't so wordy and can eliminate unnecessary things. Hopefully he can learn to do this to tighten up his writing a tad bit better.I really had a hard time getting through the book. I'm glad it was a freebie. I doubt I will be checking out his other stuff.
