2-20-08 The Somnambulist by Jonathan Barnes - Fiction

2 - This book started out great: weird characters, a strange murder, the hint of not-quite-right. And then it turned into the Energizer bunny - it just kept going and going and going. By the end of the book, the great conclusion !SEMI-SPOILER! is that the two murders at the beginning meant nothing and were only used to draw the main character, and the reader, into the mess that was the main storyline. Blah. The most interesting characters, The Prefects (which I couldn't help but picture as Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum which actually made them creepier), were only in maybe the last 50 pages. I just was not happy with this book at all.
