[Carvill John]

MICHIKO KAKUTANI: "The characters in this novel, however, are decidedly less three-dimensional."
Now, y'see, it's fresh insights like this that justify her salary and position....
At first I though she said 'less than three-dimensional', but there's no 'than'. So, which characters are she comparing IV's to? She's previously mentioned COL49 and GR in her review, is she saying those books did have 3D characters?
A myopic, mean-spirited review.
