A review by showell
The Legend of Broken by Caleb Carr

Maybe it's the wrong time for a book like this. The story has some promise. 168 pages in, it seems like it may actually become interesting relatively soon, but this is definitely the wrong book for my summer reading goals. I may come back to it later, but right now I'm interested in reading stories that pack an emotive punch because I need to figure out how writers translate emotion into body language and body language into words, and this book, with its stiff language patterns and archaic rhythms isn't going to be a useful role model for me.
