A Vision of Fire by Gillian Anderson
2.0
It's really tragic the too-high hopes that I had for this novel.
My first sign of disappointment began when I saw there was a ghost writer. With few exceptions, when I see a ghost writer, I tend to think less of the novel. Why is there a ghost writer? How much did that writer contribute? In this case: how much of this novel is actually Gillian Anderson, and how much is the ghost writer? I=
The plot is a very X-File-esque one: children all over the world are having horrid, trance-like experiences...and this one doctor is trying to make the connection to help them. She is a psychiatrist who utilizes hypnotism. She is also a single mother (unexplained), and has a deaf pre-teen son (not sure why this is the large point that it is), and she is obviously rich (able to fly to Haiti and Iran at the drop of a hat).
The characters were not as developed as I would hope...and overall, I was disappointed. :(
