Review: Nice Story, But Not Great
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 12 30, 2013
The plot of the book is good, the characters engaging and nicely defined, but the book is flawed. The author has a great need for a competent editor, or at least a circle of literary friends. The first person perspective seldom works for me at novel length. The constant changing between past and present tense, even within sentences, is awful, the grammar needs some help. I like an author who goes into detail, but sometimes the minutiae is overwhelming and slows down the story's pace. This author has talent, but this is an unpolished gem.
