Mencik's Thorn

Rating:
Summary: Okay at best
Review: I purchased this book simply because of the title. How many books will I find that have my last name as part of the title?

I found the book to be okay at best. The booked jumped from place to place far too much. The author is in the pharmaceutical industry, and that really shows through in the deep details of the chemistry descriptions in the book. To those of us that are not chemists, this is way too much detail.

The book has numerous typographical errors, and could have used a thorough spell check.

The title character "Roger Mencik" plays a very small role in the story, which to me was disappointing. The connection of the title to the story is not clear until at least halfway through the book.

While the story line is a good idea, a better writer could have done much more with it.
