The Dunbar Curse

Summary: Yawn...
Review: Mr. Pierce has imagined a white bread world where the heroes are always polite, drink nothing stronger than root beer, and use quaint, anachronistic language reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes. However, Mr. Pierce has a ways to go to emulate the great Conan-Doyle. His long digressions about the external life of his protagonist seem hopelessly unrelated to the plot line, and left this reader puzzled about why he included so many meaningless chapters. Having lived a good part of my life in rural Minnesota, this book does not ring true. Perhaps the hot sun in Scottsdale has fried our author's brain and dissipated our former Minnesotan's memories of living here. It might be a good idea for him to return for a visit sometime and spend some time talking to real people.
