Not a Romance

And not a fantasy, this is written in a more "literary" style, though as a previous critic said, it doesn't deliver the literary punch that the publishers would have you believe. The author's research is impeccable, his writing style is more than competent, and as an artist, his message is quite clear. I suppose it is the latter that I have a problem with. He is clearly a cynical atheist at heart, and I'm not. I suppose that's a matter of opinion, so I gave the book a four-star rating as opposed to the lower one I had originally intended to give.The book left me feeling bereft, as was, no doubt, the author's intention. ;-) It doesn't make me want to run out, though, and buy more of same.
