This one tried, but doesn't quite make the grade. I suspect it didn't get a once-over by a good copy-writer. I marked a lot of questionable phrases and words. I may update this review with a sampling of them. Other mistakes exist, such as a character making a point of describing a gun as definitely not being a revolver (due to not having one of those "round revolving thingies" or something like that) that just a page later and for the rest of the book is referred to as a revolver.

Bigger problems I had with the characters, more specifically their dialogue and motivations. These issues become even more apparent at the start of the action in the second part. Characters' actions and words would often feel slightly off, given the situation they are in at the time.

I give it some points for trying.The author clearly loves stories and writing and the story is a mix of Deliverance and the Ctulhu mythos. Although it doesn't manage to keep an entirely consistent tone throughout. I also finished it, but had to force myself through some incongruent sections. In the end, despite the author's hopes, it didn't do more than keep myself turning pages. However, maybe sometimes that's enough...… (plus d'informations)
