Hard Rain Falling by Don Carpenter
1.0
This is such dreck. The publisher should be forced to replant the trees used to print such an empty story.
Even through its weak writing, disjointed pacing and tissue-paper thin plotting, the racism, sexism, and homophobia (not used for the sake of creating a character) shines brightly. There are no character arcs, no one grows or changes at all. It contains drastically unbelievable portrayals of every female character. They are all liars or whores, it’s like the author never encountered a woman in real life. This book is devoid of cohesion and contain no discernible plot. It's like five bad stories smashed together into one horrendous book. Why do teenagers act and talk like middle-aged gangsters?
As we hate read and come to the end the simplest, most elementary ideas are presented as deep insights.
If someone calls this Dostoyevskian or compares it to Crime and Punishment throw your drink in their face.
