fa_jrd 's review for:

The Lock-Up by John Banville
2.0
dark emotional mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Well written with a lot of build up to a let down of an ending. Too much background information on characters that added nothing to the story (except maybe to act as red herrings?). Utterly disappointed.
