Intriguing, Evocative and Chilling,
By Daniel R. Robichaud II - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Flesh Unknown (Paperback)
Marriage dilutes romance. At least it has for the main characters in this volume. Well, let's be honest: Marriage and life shattering accidents dilute romance.
This book is brief. It is beautifully written, and at various times delightfully erotic, sweetly romantic, soul numbingly sad and downright chilling. Parts of the book demand to be read aloud -- a courtship scene climaxing at a duck pond was so endearing, I had to read it aloud to my wife. We still grin about it. However, the ending feels... Hmmm. The ending does not flow seamlessly from the rest of the book. It feels... Revised? I'm not sure how else to say it. In a film, I might say that it is a carryover from some other screenplay draft, but here it feels artificial. Inorganic. Perhaps I missed something, perhaps I need to read through again. In fact, there are parts I look forward to revisiting. Alas, the ending is not one of them. If I could, I would rate this book 4.5 stars. It is absolutely engrossing. 1 of 2 people found the following review helpful:
