7/10

Man, I really wanted to like this book more. The whole concept of words that kill was one I loved. The first 60 pages were dynamite and then it just lost steam for me. It took forever to get where it was going. The ending was bang up and redeemed it a little for me. All in all it was enjoyable but left me feeling like it could have been more.

I mostly picked this book for the title and the idea that words are powerful. I liked it quite a bit. The plot, characters, and structure were very interesting. I'm still thinking about it. I think it will be one of those books that I like more over time.

No review - read so long ago that I don't recall it.
