Michele W. (Kiawah Island, SC)
Easy Reader
This is the story of a family forever damned to watery death by -- a book?, a curse?, genetics? What becomes certain to the protagonist, Simon Watson, librarian, is that his family history is disturbing and there may be immediate repercussions for its living descendants. So far, so good. There is a story here, and some strong place and time opportunities, but in the end, everybody could have been living in the same time and place. For me, there wasn't adequate explanation of the occult side of things, though the characters were attractive and I could see this as a movie. It seemed to me the Easy Reader version of a real sic-fi thriller.
