Review: Twist

Twist by Mark L. Fowler
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I had high hopes for this book. At first the style was very Raymond Chandler, before dropping into the author's own style. This was justified very well and I thought, "this is a clever writer". However, there is far too much philosophy which adds absolutely nothing to the narrative. There are also many plot points that pop up, totally apropos of nothing. This, plus mistakes like there being two days in a row that are both apparently Sunday make the book not too fun to follow. IMHO, the author should spend less time showing how great he is at philosophy and more time making sure that the book hangs together.
