A review by beccajdb
Metronome by Tom Watson

Did not finish book. Stopped at 9%.

I couldn’t cope with this being written in the present tense and with such a laboured stylistic attitude. The thing that finally tipped me over the edge was the fifth ‘upon’ rather than ‘on, as in “she lays her fingers upon his shoulder”. A creative writing degree graduate touting his wares. Maybe he was already thinking film rights as the premise is interesting.
