And The Devil You Know falls just a BIT short of Deliverance and moves slowly and the perilous cedar canoe and the granite lakes ready to rip open the cedar canoe and the really bad guys and the dysfunctional family and the would be track star that smokes and the predictability and the drawn out passages that fill paragraphs all make for a novel that a 12th grader couldn't get a passing grade on and I just can't take another page of endless run ons and I'm sure as an author he knows what they are and I can't continue to write this tripe and I can't bring myself to finish the novel and you can be sure I'll never buy another of his novels and don't bother with this POS.
