bestendeavour 's review for:

The Dynamite Room by Jason Hewitt

2.0

---

An interesting premise but I think there were just too many strands that didn't exactly work. It was overly long and not really suspenseful enough to keep my interest. Some of the more interesting allusions, especially around Lydia's brother and Button the refugee, were skipped over, while other parts were dragged out too much when they didn't need to be. I found it difficult to warm to either of the protagonists too and didn't particularly like Heiden at all, especially when the more unseemly parts of his character were revealed.
