My Darkest Prayer

SA Cosby writes a solid book. Great characters. Good dialogue. Nice plotting. Solid premise. I enjoy his work a lot.

If I have a single complaint: Dude uses similies like Mormons use sugar.
I like his writing because the prose is languid and interesting, but too often a ham-handed simile takes me right out of the flow. They're frequent and often awkward.

I mean, I guess it's his writing style...but as an editor and former writing instructor, they'd be the first things I'd tell him to work on cutting down.

Also, while I like Nathan Waymaker as a main character, he suffers from the author-insert-wannabe syndrome that so many main characters suffer from. He's stronger than everyone else. He's tougher than everyone else. He's smarter and more well-read than anyone else. He's a former Marine. He gets to have sex with the hot pornstar who is impressed by his sexual ability. Every woman in the book hits on him.

It gets ridiculous.

Otherwise, I'm very much looking forward to his next book.
