Customer Reviews
Ok, needs depth...
I can see why some other reviews said this book was repetitive. There's little subtlety in the way it's written & the two key characters continue on the same dialogue for much of the book, without coming to a common understanding. They just repeat themselves, and ignore each other. That get's a bit annoying! "I told you..." It would have been better if the characters believed one another but lost faith after certain events. Unfortunately it's written too simplistically for that.
I think the way the author writes needs to develop a little more, as even the general flow of most of the text is confusing at some level. It's a bit 'clunky'. It's a shame as the story is actually quite good.
