Tyrant Memory

Tyrant Memory was a disappointment for me. I was very sympathetic to the concept and the topic but the execution left me flat. The story seemed uninspired and the character's narration largely boring. At times, it seemed the book would have been better as an outline for a screenplay; it needed more substance. Like the book in general, I felt the characters lacked depth. I was also led to believe that despite its somber topic, it contained a degree of black humor. Kept waiting for something amusing. Maybe my sense of humor is impaired.

So-so book with a so-so plot that was actually quite boring to read even though the blurbs on the back say otherwise. I found nothing "hysterically funny" or "brilliant" or "masterful" about it. I am incensed by insult with the idea promoted by the publisher that this book is "pitch-perfect" with "pitch-black humor". Poppycock and an awful shame to waste ones time.
