There is a time and a place for almost every kind of literature out there. I find myself reading a little bit of everything, and often have to, things that I otherwise never read. I will go into a bookstore and see something that is interesting to me, read back and decide that I want to buy it. I come home and realize that it is one of those books that I presented to counter the rule, not because of history, or the ideas of an author, but (for the very basic reason, and itThere are so many who do this), that the writer thinks he or she is writing a screenplay.
We are a visual culture. Everything we do is in sound and moving images. And so it makes sense that if a new author in the field of tension, thriller, science fiction, or fails will it take to try the error, show the reader everything. People love it anyway but very well for the reasons I listed. Such as pictures, and when their words can also send images allbetter.
I, however, a much less tolerant view of the manner in which the modern pop-written novel. I can not bear it. It is not even that Hawkes writes without a voice, so he never tried in the first place.
Let's start with the action. It is solid, the kind of really cool. A metaphysical thriller in which an entirely different area is possible only on certain people, of which there are now only two remain. Enter the protectors of the specially marked and theEvil Illuminatus try the world who want to enter and only use these powers to decide their own advantage. Throw in Big Brother-style control over the population and some really intense fighting and chase scenes, and you are concerned with a highly stylized, thriller matrix for the sole purpose of writing made into a film.
Like I said, but the plot was fascinating and for the most part, I was fully connected in the first chapter. The problem arose in the prose. The author writes withspring of a drowned man saw him in strength. He is a journalist of the type for something that happened that never turns, all the time sensationalizing it back with the motorcycle chase and unnecessary.
Probably I'll read to finish the next novel in the series, and if I enjoy it not likely, or the series, if only because Hawkes created something in his world that I want to learn more. His eye for tension and a subtle mastery of the hooks are the only things that keep this bookafloat, but it goes on the shelf right next to The DaVinci Code as something I shall never be able to read a second time and recommend not targeted, one of my friends.
