I really couldn't get into this one. The book seemed sort of pointless and the characters poorly developed. I definitely won't be watching for anything else from this author. Unfinished. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. It's a book about a road. It's a book about a road that is controversial. The road symbolizes so much to a small town. Change. Movement. New people. Growth. Transformation. Not everyone is interested in any of this. But would someone be so against it that they'd kill for it? The book is told from the point of view of the town's board members. There are a great number of characters, which makes the novel seem long winded and pointless at times. There are a lot of plot devices used, some heavy handed, like the use of red herrings and the symbolism. There's a lot of stereotyping, repetition and subplots that distract. You will discover this if you are able to get past the first few chapters. To say it's a slow starting book is an understatement. And the ending? Wow. Talk about far fetched. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. Rather long, sometimes difficult to read... Perhaps there was just too much going on, or too many characters. The premise is a good one.... small town politics and what folks will do to protect their interests. The mystery of who was behind the wrongdoings in the book was enough to keep me reading, but it wasn't always easy. I admit to doing a lot of skimming to get to the "meat" of the story. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML: Paul Robertson's debut novel The Heir garnered critical praise as a "Grisham-like tale of intrigue and murder" (Booklist). Told from five diverse viewpoints, Road to Nowhere spins gripping suspense into a mysterious whodunit as a small mountain town wrangles over a road that could change its future forever. "This top-notch offering features genuine humor, clever writing, a surprise ending and a strong portrayal of evil's power that doesn't succumb to clichéd violence."-Publishers Weekly Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
