Review: Too many ..... but not enough
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 08 17, 2012
The basic premise of the story is fascinating and the author deserves credit for that. However, it lacked skillful presentation.Too confusing at the beginning - The author laid out many strands of the story right from the start. It was hard to follow.Too many questions - The author presents a lot of questions right from the start but offers no answers throughout the book. The only thing that kept me reading was the promise of answers. When I got to the end and had none, I felt cheated.Too many characters - The author introduced too many main characters and not enough development of a few more important ones. The author got a great start on development but it didn't get beyond a start. The characters seem to lack emotional depth.Not enough action - The author includes of interesting descriptive passages but the entire book lacks action. It causes the story to stagnate rather than pull the reader through.
