Not a fan of this one. Trying to slog through it for our bookclub meeting this month. The author uses prose like a sledgehammer and has apparently never heard the maxim "less is more." Also, his handling of female characters and their thoughts and motivations feels creepy and abysmally clueless.

This is the June selection for Prince William Public Library's Books on Tap (we meet at a local brewery) book club. It's ok so far, though it could use some paring down. The author doesn't stop once he's made his point but instead goes on making it and then makes it once more. It's a bit overdone. Could use a ruthlessly kind editor. Maybe he will ease up once the story gets flowing, though.
