A review by johnbreeden
The Naturalist by Andrew Mayne

3.0

I'll have to say I wasn't very impressed with this novel. Things seemed to be moving too perfectly for the protagonist, Theo Cray, and his scientific work - except when he was getting beaten up and mangled. I felt like he was more of a victim than the actual ones. His behavior had a few moments of inspiration, but he was either being too weak or extremely brave when it didn't fit with his personality. I just don't see him as being realistic. The concept is decent, but with a better protagonist at the helm.
