2.0 out of 5 stars
Unsatisfying.,
By
This review is from: Journey Into Terror (Mass Market Paperback)
John Bunting is a mild mannered, straitlaced, somewhat shy engineer. His world suddenly collapses when his fiancee, Ann Jackson, is tragically and senslessly killed in the crossfire of a gangland shootout.
John's immediate reaction is to drink himself into oblivion. But then he decides to seek revenge. He vows to identify the hoodlum who fired the fatal shot and then kill him. To do this, John sheds his Milquetoast-like personality and insinuates himself into the very gang responsible for Ann's death. There's a lot wrong with this novel. The plotting is contrived and ham fisted. The motivation behind the actions of the various characters is obscure to the point of inscrutability. And the dialogue, though obviously painstakingly crafted, often lacks authenticity. Journey into Terror is a very unsatisfying novel. Not recommended. |
