Title: Baldacci never met a cliche he didn't use to death.
Product review: Yawn. An interesting premise is beaten into a coma by an endless stream of cliched writing, "fight" scenes pulled straight from a sub-par episode of "Xena: Warrior Princess" and a super-villian who would make Keyser Soze look like a purse snatcher. Unbelievable, two-dimensional, predictable and boring. Plus, Baldacci's voluminous, sexist descriptions (there are dozens of them strewn throughout the book) of the main heroine's body would be offensive if they weren't so outrageously overblown (and I'm a guy).
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
