Book Reviews of Wild Fire
Book Review: An All Around Bad Read
Summary: 1 Stars
Traditionally, DeMille has written excellent thrillers with unexpected plot twists & generally witty dialogue between Corey and the antagonists. This book has absolutely none of those characteristics.
Plot:
Fiction writers are generally afforded a lenient artistic license allowing them to stitch otherwise ludicrous plots together. This book takes those liberties and abuses them to the fullest. Under no circumstances is the plot of this novel made believable to the reader. Proper writing along with effective plot development can make nearly any scenario appear realistic, DeMille fails miserably at this task.
Characters:
Corey is not up to his usual self in the book. The other characters offer no intrigue. Unlike the villains in his other books, Bain offers us no insight as to why he is such a lunatic. His cache of supporters are all merely "present", there is no effort on DeMille's part to explain to the readers why they have all gone mad.
Dialogue:
This is the worst part of the book. I will not elaborate, however it should be obvious to most readers that this book was rushed into publication. The dialogue is awful. In fact, nothing significant happens between the 1st two chapters and the last 2 chapters. Everything in-between is filler material (consisting primarily of weak dialogue).
