This review is from: Time No Longer (Hardcover)
I won't be quite as scathing as the previous reviewer, but I can't recommend TIME NO LONGER either. The story starts out deliciously campy-in pre-WWII Germany, Karl's adopted Jewish brother, Eric, is killed escaping from the Nazis that Karl's jealous twin, Kurt, sent after him. Eric leaves behind a number of African artifacts brought back from a recent trip-including a shrunken head, and what just might be...a voodoo doll. Karl, wishing to avenge Eric's death, takes up these artifacts to use them against Kurt.I have to admit that after such a truly bizarre beginning, I thought the book might turn out to be a guilty pleasure. But, no such luck. After the over-the-top melodrama at the beginning of the book, the story immediately drops away, and Caldwell launches into a dull, dull diatribe on the loss of innocence or something. Painfully difficult to finish. |
