What is literary criticism? In my opinion I think it is a well written short and brief passage that allows us to understand what the writing or author has been credited for. Maintaining it linked to the writing or author for others to accept it as it is. As an example I will use Steve Berry’s best selling novel The Alexandria Link. As an example of this; “Berry, author of several big-selling high-concept thrillers, including The Templar Legacy (2006) and The Third Secret (2005), is back with another paranoid fantasy for fans who like their heroes to face unimaginable dangers in a variety of glamorous locations……….with the conflict firmly established, and the villains showing their mettle, the plot is off and running across the globe, the story driven by a series of short chapters, each acting as a little time bomb. Trite characters and a formulaic plot (drawing, yet again, on The Da Vinci Code) get in the way, but Berry does make intriguing use of ancient history, and the action certainly zooms along. Fun reading if you keep moving and don't take time to digest.”
