Painful reading

If you are going to read this, make a list of the characters and their relationships as you read about them or you'll be lost. The book jumps all over in a disjointed fashion. Unrelated story lines adding nothing but words are interjected. The book is far too long. Good editing would have produced a tighter, more readable story. There are mistakes that would have been caught with better editing, too. Some sentences are so trite and predictable as to be laughable. Perhaps this is the result of the translation, but taken in its entirety, the book seems first draft-like. I had difficulty finishing the book, but plugged on until the end.

The Scandinavian's Score Again

In a word: Excellent! Clever and intricate plot, great character development. I look forward to more works by this writer.
