The Unwedding reminded me of Golding's Lord of the Flies with its exotic setting at Big Sur and trapped characters, seemingly under threat from each other.
The illustrative map of the resort and surrounding woods was helpful. The use of art and sculpture dotted around the resort highlighted the eerie atmosphere of the setting.
However, the plot was bogged down by needless details, making it difficult to follow the actions of several characters moving in and out of the story. Extraneous story lines that went nowhere (the missing screen! Look out!) added to the confusion. It was plodding and boring, a missed opportunity.
