... worked to DEATH, the dialog wooden, the action often leaving me wanting to find the author and PUNCH him in the face, umm... what else?
Oh, the twist at the end was contrived, contrived, contrived. The holes in the plot were big enough to drive a Mini Cooper through. And if I hear the words "Eve" and "apple" together one more time from a person who is supposed to have "researched" such things, I may hurl. Oh, and the exchanges between the professor and the so-called "Harvard" students? Puh-lease.
The whole ritual sex thing was pretty funny. Reminded me of Cahill, who is equally an often-over the top and uneven writer.
It left me frustrated that it wasn't done better. It *should* have been done better.
