Fair Warning by Robert Olen Butler

sarahmadams's review against another edition

3.0

Brilliant first line, gorgeous imagery. For that it gets three stars. The first half of the book really pulled me along. I loved it. But sometime after the halfway point, it started to lose me. It didn't quite come together at the end. It left me feeling empty... Which was the point perhaps but not what I was looking to feel. An intellectual read rather than a sensual/emotional one.

Though occasionally overwritten, this is a wonderful character study and an interesting novella.

emotional reflective tense medium-paced

• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

For me the general plot of the book and the style didn't work well together. Or at least not in the way I wanted.
I consider the writing decent and the plot okay but it overall it wasn't for me.
