MICHIKO KAKUTANI

[Carvill, John]

Whoops. I forgot to set the Subject line. And plain text went all weird
on me yet again, something to do with hotmail... 


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.
