A review of the Innocence Machine

Rate: 3 Flag

I think this reviewer has issues with me.  She couldn't put the book down but had to downgrade it.

 Whatever.

I’ve read a book by this author before, two stars, so why did I chose another? Simply - the blurb. It was a fantastic idea of a man cryogenically frozen and waking up to a crazed world with a machine that proves he did not murder his wife. They need him to help repopulate the world but all he wants is to find his sons. 

This world is dark, filled with disease and death. I enjoy futuristic stories that portray such. The Innocence Machine had so much potential. The scenes needed to be fleshed out. Some scenes were perfect with details and surroundings while others had none. There was a twist toward the end that I did not see coming. It really pulled me that much deeper into the  story.

Now to the 3 stars. I thought for sure this would have gotten a 4. There were issues but the majority of the story was entertaining and a really interesting tale. Then we come the conclusion, after the startling twist, there are a bunch of sentences smashed together in some kind of closing. It was a string of thoughts, events, an outline and in no way to be considered an ending. That, for me ruined the story. It was a jumbled mess and as such was downgraded.

so, time to go chew out your editor :p
Actually, it's the reviewer that could use an editor. Seems a little tossed off.
Did she have a point? I know endings can be the hardest part to get right. It sounds as if your style is growing on her, tho. But Bard is right, her remarks come across as more of a counter-blurb than a serious review.
