Adopted Son [nitemayr's Review]

nitemayr, from Local Blogger Writes the World, really didn't like Adopted Son. His review stings my eyes to this moment...

Dominic Peloso may have a history of writing detailed reports and scholarly papers. At least One would hope he does. TinyGhosts is indicative of the style of writing that faces the reader; clever and clipped, I warn you of this now.

I also warn you that this is a fairly negative review of what is truly good material.

...I skipped ahead, hoping that the “chopped military report” style would taper into traditional narrative, only to put the book down and gently weep for my future.
