ziggy_zaggy 's review for:

The Naturalist by Andrew Mayne
1.0

An interesting premise, but ultimately pretty bland. The science wasn't ever delved into at any great length, instead the narrator and main character seemed to think everyone--including the reader--too stupid to understand. This led me to feel the author didn't put much thought into it and couldn't explain it, so didn't.

Too many shortcuts were taken to provide a gripping narrative. The main character was underdeveloped and bland. The killer wasn't even very scary.

I spent most of the book waiting to see the writing described in the majority of the reviews. It never showed up. Thankfully a short read, so not too much of my weekend was wasted.
