Book Review: (In a Scooby Doo Voice) HUH??!!??
Summary: 2 Stars
I read "The Store" by Little and hoped this book was be just as compelling. NOT!!! The prologue made absolutely no sense, the characters were dry for the most part (like watching a soap opera w/ no sound), the sequence was irritating and none of the loose ends in the book are tied up. This novel would've ran better if he had followed things up in more sequential order, and explained the butler/gatekeeper and the girl, but the way it isn't just isn't worth sloshing through. My head hurt at the end, and I felt cheated with what all was left out. This premise had possibilities, but for the most part, feels "phoned in": even his most hardcore fans wouldn't feel this book, I dare say. If you're new to Bentley, this book does him NO justice. Pick up "The Store" instead. If you still feel compelled to read it, check it out like I did or borrow it so you won't waste your money, well up with fury and go on a Bentley Little book-burning rampage. Like a broken pencil, it has no point.
