Randy Wayne White is an author who lives in – and writes about – southwest Florida. His books, with settings familiar to me, have special interest. I wanted very much to enjoy Dark Light, his 13th book featuring marine biologist Doc Ford.
I wanted to enjoy it but didn’t.
Maybe I wasn’t in the right frame of mind (whatever that might be) to enjoy his writing or maybe his literary cheese is slipping off the cracker, but whatever the reason I simply couldn’t get by the first 50 pages. The plot was so confusing and the characters were so poorly formed that I just gave up. It just wasn’t worth the effort.
2 out of 10. I would have given it a 1 but maybe I would have liked it more if I had fought through to the end. But I doubt it.
