Reviews of Enigma

Having read Wolf Black's interview, I can see what the author is doing. I understand that the detail about clothes etc is describing a reality, as the characters would have experienced it.

For me, the problem is that every person's detailed life is totally different. Dick Love sees a coat and thinks Taylor Ripoff, $740. I see a coat and think "That looks too hot for this weather." The reader needs to hook into text they can relate to, and I found it hard to relate to the relentless focus on products and prices.

For me, it is a shame, the detail slowed me down until I lost momentum and gave up! But for other people, it probably works, and I can see from the other reviews that those sho have persevered have enjoyed it. Good luck, Wolf Black, with Enigma and any future books.
