Review: Cynical Tale Told With Style
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 04 25, 2012
McIntyre uses words to entice the reader, using a conversational style of prose to communicate a view of the world in which faith is useless and a person's place in the world is dependent upon adherence to pre-ordained pathways.  The author manipulates the conversation and directs the reader to understand that the world will continue despite an individual's choices, that obedience and acceptance of one's position without challenging directives of nebulous superiors will provide more satisfaction and peace than independent thought.  An eloquent writer, McIntyre provides an alternate, parallel plane of existence that challenges the reader to question the role of an individual's free will when either a voluntary or involuntary participant in a univeral blind faith.  While not communicating a particularly uplifting story, the author uses a particularly engaging style to capture and keep the reader's attention.
