Give the man a break !!

I think alot of people do not realize thatthis what Hunter's first attempt at a fiction novel. Granted it is not helped as good as his next few books: such as The Day Before Midnight but every writer has to start somewhere and it would be wrong for people to judge him on his first effort.The book is fine if you have not read Other Hunter books but if you are already a fan about to read this book, "Cut the man some slack!"
