Devolution

What a premise and setup. I was hooked. I was in. Then the problems started. Characters that were caricatures. Throwaway ideas and entrenched stereotyping. Suspension of disbelief can't save a continuous, deep epistolary narrative that is beyond the imagination no matter how much one tries to suspend, and a journal that becomes even less believable as the novel progresses than the positing that Sasquatch exits. A complete let down in the final chapters.
