peter_gagne 's review for:

The Book of Air and Shadows by Michael Gruber

2.0

---

I expected more from this book, based on the dust jacket description and rave reviews of Gruber's writing. Many characters were unlikeable and some unbelieveable. Often, I had the impression that something happened, I just wasn't sure what. I wouldn't say that the plot was too complicated, I'd say it wasn't clear enough. There were parts that dragged, and in the end I was just glad to be done with it. In the end, I'm glad that I only paid $1 for this as a used book. If it were a film, it'd be in the category "rent only if you've seen everything else and are really bored."
